  Upon arrival we found that the door handle was hanging off so reported it immediately.

  Someone came to look at it and couldnt do it so said he would send his grandad. It was obvious it needed a new lock but my husband helped do a temporary fix. The cottage was absolutely filthy with cobwebs and dead insects everywhere, we mentioned this at the time but nothing was done. I again complained a couple of days later and Someone came and mopped the floor!! Still filth and dead insects on every windowsill. I pulled the bin out to empty it and there was a build up of dirt and debris behind it, very obvious this hadn't been moved in months! I also attempted to vacuum myself but the vacuum cleaner was also filthy and covered in cobwebs. Plates and dishes were chipped and there was no way I was going to use the oven!!! Even the barbecue was broken and disgusting. We had to eat out for every meal as there was no way we could use the pans etc in there. This cost a lot more than we had planned for. The outdoor bbq house was dirty and unuseable with extension cables trailing everywhere. The owner and staff were not very friendly, on checking out the owner was outside reception and totally ignored me. I would definitely not recommend Atlantic Farm to anyone and if this is the standard of properties you use I would not recommend Sykes Cottages either.

  We had a wonderful stay at The Granary!

  Due to traffic being very kind to us we arrived earlier than the check in time, but after contacting Christine & Stanley they said that this wasn’t a problem. We were met promptly and shown around the property and grounds - all lovely. The Granary was spotless, milk had been left for us in the fridge along with a bottle of local apple juice and a cake. There was also a tray with various condiments, tea bags, coffee etc. The bedrooms were spacious, with wardrobes and drawers, and the beds very comfortable. The wet room was amazing, and perfect for my elderly mum. There was a good selection of miniature toiletries in the bathroom cabinet too. Our cocker spaniel, Pippa, soon made friends and loved exploring the garden. There is also a field behind The Granary that we could use to walk her, with an opening in the far corner to various footpaths, which made for some excellent walks. It was a perfect base to explore Norfolk and what it has to offer. At the end of our stay we all said that it felt like we had been staying with friends, and mum said how safe she felt when we left her to take Pippa across the fields for a walk. Thank you Christine & Stanley for a wonderful holiday, we’d like to visit again in the future, if you’ll have us!

  Rose Cottage and our host were lovely.

  The cottage was comfortable and the location is very good for exploring the Forest of Dean and surrounding area. The water pressure is not good upstairs if someone else is using the shower downstairs, but that was just a minor detail. Being right on the main road to Lydney would not have been my first choice but wasn't too much of an issue as the off street parking was good. There was no noise from the workshop opposite and having the sign outside made the cottage easy to find. The only issue I had whilst booking was with Sykes cottages and the very rude person we first spoke to who cancelled our original booking without consulting us even though we asked her not to and we were then left to find an alternative, which she also got wrong. Fortunately the second person we spoke to was nice and competent and sorted out the error. It does not make me want to use Sykes ever again, even though the holiday was eventually relaxing the stress beforehand was not what we needed.

  Our visit to the beautiful Rose Cottage was nothing short of charming.

  We loved the place and the people. From the well thought out kitchen, with everything you could want equipped, to the wood burning stove in the super comfortable living/dining room with modern TV and Netflix, comfortable bed, storage space for clothes, the relaxing conservatory, the well kept garden and more.... the attention to detail here is noticeable in providing as much as possible for the guests. There is so much to love about this great place to stay. It is as much a joy as Christine our host, who was very friendly and welcoming to us and a credit to providing a place we wouldn't hesitate in returning to! The private parking area is brilliant for offloading luggage and is safely out of the road. Fast broadband too which was a bonus. With beautiful surroundings, peaceful walks just minutes away and easy routes to surrounding areas, Rose Cottage comes with the highest recommendation from us. Thanks from Jill & Bob

  This pretty cottage in the heart of the village of Elsdon is an absolute gem.

  We were lucky enough to be the first to stay in it since it was refurbished and it has been done to an exceptionally high standard. Everything you could want is on hand from tupperware for picnics to an electric blanket for chilly nights.The property is clean and spacious with stunning views over the Northumberland countryside and in the national park so thousands of stars on a clear night. There is a village pub open four nights a week with its' own micro brewery and the village also offers some interesting history including the remains of the best preserved Motte-and-bailey castle in Northumberland. The cottage owners are a delight and we would love to stay here again as it is brilliantly located and well appointed. In fact, nicer than our actual home!
