  So I wish I could include photos here as you would never stay in this cottage and unlikely to stay in a Sykes accommodation again.

  You needed a 4x4 to travel up the drive my car bottomed out several times with the potholes. Outside lights not working couldn’t see a thing, slippery decking slope couldn’t see key safe ridiculous. First initial impressions when entering were very positive, nice space and well laid out.and a welcome food pack Then… handle on the kitchen cupboard fell off, I noticed the floor kick board was kicked in. So the en-suite bathroom, the toilet was dirty,, I mean black stains and residue on the toilet seat, there was mould all over shower tray, water would not drain and after inspection found full of hair, shower glass filthy, shower extractor fan seemed poor under inspection clogged with dust. Main bathroom, the bath panel was kicked in, skirting rotted with damp, chrome filthy. Bedroom 3 with two singles, we used a cot, but both beds had broken slats so fell through when sat on them to dress the baby. I have phots of all this. Asked owner for assistance with outside lighting as it was dangerous his comment still on my phone was, “we had the opposite our lights on all night”,not what I wanted to hear. He came round and asked if all good with the property, it was New Year’s Eve and rather than cause a scene as I was so angry and upset and not in the best of moods and my partner didn’t want me to have a confrontation with him so I said all Ok, I wish I had shown him round I’m sure he would not have believed his eyes. Contacted Sykes sent them the photos, thought there might be compensation, a written apology. What a joke……… i

  The cottage was everything the website and other reviews stated. It was fantastic for a 50th birthday with friends and family. It is ideal for large groups using all three properties but would be a bit awkward using shared facilities like the games room and enclosed courtyard if the three cottages were booked separately. The properties themselves were finished to a high standard, the beds were excellent, the bathrooms excellent and living areas very comfortable. The log burners were also great with plenty wood. The village itself is a short walk and has everything you could really need including a Chinease takeaway and pizza shop. One thing to note, there are two pubs but only The Blacksmiths arms is dog friendly indoors, The Golden Lion is not which was a shame as we had booked this for food on the Friday and had to change it to The Hotham Arms a short drive away. There is a easy walk just behind the cottage which is an old railway line. All in all the weekend was exactly what we hoped it would be and I would certainly recommend the cottages to other groups. The owners were friendly the two times I spoke with them in passing.

  This is an ideal venue for an extended family/ friends as the different 'houses' easily allow for individual groups to have their own space whilst also having room to enjoy being together. We particularly enjoyed the courtyard as we had great weather. The pool table was a great hit with all ages (8 - 70). The cottages have been decorated in lovely colours, and all the soft furnishings of high quality, as are the beds and bed linen. We appreciated having plenty of good tea towels, and hand towels in each bathroom (as well as bath and hand towel for each guest). It was lovely to find wine and other goodies and treats for us on arrival. As we had all three properties we were able to share fridge and freezer space but would have struggled if we only had one property, particularly with freezer space. Also, had we not had all three properties, we would have hesitated to use the courtyard and games room as much as we did.

  Lovely clean lodge, with good quality funiture and equipment.

  Great welcome pack including a bottle of wine which was much appreciated, as were some wonderful fresh raspberries delivered on arrival. The two bathrooms were ideal for us as a family of adults, lashings of lovely hot water, so all could shower and bath as required. Lots of magazines and games for use if the weather wasn't good. Very well eqipped with washing mashine, dishwasher, microwave, smart TV and Wi Fi, although it would have been useful to have some instructions on how to use the equipment, the cooker took me some time to work out how to use it as I have never used an electric cooker. We had a very comfortable stay, which was excellent value for the facilities on offer. The beds were a little too soft for us as we like a firm mattress, but that is a personal preference. We would happily book a stay here again.

  We had a another New Year stay in this very well appointed and welcoming property. The attention to detail with the furnishings makes The Piggery very comfortable. The kitchen has all the utensils you might ever need, and the freshly baked loaf of bread waiting on arrival is a lovely touch. The Piggery has a fantastic balcony and the view from the cottage is to die for. The location is brilliant with it only being a short walk to the village shops and the pub. The car parking is a little tight depending on your vehicle(s) and the waste bins can get a little over-full as they are shared with at least two other rental properties. However that said, you’d go along way to beat The Piggery, and the owners are very approachable and friendly. We love The Piggery!
