Very Poor

  : Not much
  : I didnt like the many faults with the property, some major some less so. The complete curtain pole fell down of the first night and despite reporting it first thing the following morning I heard nothing back , recontacted sykes the next day and said they would try to get in touch with owner . The curtain pole was fixed then the following evening but this meant two of our three nights without curtains the window was low and looked directly onto a main road. In addition to this there were no bulbs in either bedroom ceiling lights, took a bulb from the downstairs light to put in the bedroom and it gave a loud bang, probably faulty electrics to both bedroom ceiling hence why there were no bulbs in them had to rely on the bedside lamps, The wardrobe hinge to the main bedroom was hanging off which I fixed my self , the lamp in the lounge bulb not working. The bottom kitchen cupboard as others have reported was full off workmen's rubbish from fitting the kitchen and scissors were left broken in the knife cupboard. The second bedroom hadn't had the quilt covers put on when we arrived . Response from owners was too slow and not sufficient . The patio area was full of weeds and the furniture rusty , so not usable.

Good

  : It was nice and warm. It was a good location for the local towns and waterfalls.
  : It had lots of cobwebs and missing bulbs. I emailed through booking.com and got no response. More towels were needed for a family of 4.

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : Left without curtains to the bedroom window for the entire duration of the stay despite being promised that they would be fixed no later than the morning after our arrival. Some evidence of damp in the property. Some of the crockery had been put away still wet, and not properly cleaned.

Wonderful

  : Location was excellent, facilities were great. This cottage probably has the best selection of kitchen utensils, pans, crockery and cutlery I have ever seen. Everything you can possible want was provided. Bed linen and towels also provided, with plenty of drawers and hanging space in the bedroom. A very comfortable and well decorated cottage and perfect for 2 adults and a child. All rooms finished to a high standard, kitchen looks recently refurbished and everything looks new. Bathroom is lovely and the shower was amazing. Beds really comfy and all rooms are large and spacious. Wifi was excellent and availability of Netflix on the TV was good for my daughter. We travelled with a dog, so having a dog friendly cottage was great, but meant we stayed in in the evening, so Netflix was very useful.
  : The outside space needs tidying. Some of the plants are protruding across the front door, and it makes the cottage appear scruffy from the outside, when the quality inside is so good. Perhaps the outdoors will be upgraded over the winter as it appears a lot of work has been done indoors recently.
