  : Location was fine. Within walking distance from everything and close to the bus stop as well.
  : The pedestrian passage along the house makes you mindful of your every move in the house. There should be two layers of curtains in the bedrooms to help improve your privacy.

Disappointing

  : Location was great for town, however there was constant noise from people walking by.
  : Sadly the property was very damp and had a terrible smell throughout. We had to use the dehumidifier constantly and it took several days to stop everything feeling damp. The mattresses were very uncomfortable. The toilet seat was loose. The flooring upstairs was extremely dangerous as it was so slippery. We had to put the heating on to help dry out the property and that made such a racket it was like a pneumatic drill!!

  : A really cute and very homely property. We loved the 3 storey layout and the lounge area with views. Clean and comfortable.
  : The main bedroom was cold as the radiator was broken and there was no heating in the kitchen.The parking is a real problem as there isn't a designated spot and the cottage is on a hairpin bend. Good job I have such a small car. If you want privacy, this is not the property for you, as it's positioned on a thoroughfare, with a fair bit of foot traffic. This made our dogs bark, quite a lot. Worst of all were the check in and out times! 5pm check in and 9am check out. This was not made clear before booking but was sent with confirmation with a note that this cannot be amended. Quite unreasonable. Sykes cottages, who manage this property were unresponsive to my messages.

  : The location and cleanliness excellent. We enjoyed our stay
  : If you ask my wife she had no complaints. What I would say is I was not particularly pleased with the process of booking. I requested an early check-in which was denied. But.... I'm 57 and have visited a few places around the globe, and never has the check-in been 5pm, never 9:30am checkout. For the money, which to me was expensive my to my wife value for money I was put off by the inflexibility and the fact that I had multi emails repeating the same - no you can't have early check in (I wanted 2pm) and rules. It felt very formal and not in the least "warmly welcoming". May I conclude by saying very comfortable, but a bit clinical. Don't let my delight in excellent hosting put you off however.
