ColneComfortable, quiet, home from home
Left on 10/23/2012 for a stay in August 2012
Generally. a lovely comfortable place, quiet location, but accessible for lots of attractions. Owners lived nearby, but didn't come across on arrival to make sure everything was okay; would have been nice for them to introduce themselves. Must have been having a problem with flies as there were many fly papers hanging in living areas, left a feeling of slightly unclean. Also, fly problem made us feel we couldn't open the windows to allow fresh air into the property. Consequently, bedrooms became very hot to the point of causing uncomfortable nights sleep.

London, United KingdomNot up to scratch. Some good points.
Left on 10/20/2012 for a stay in September 2012
Property doesn’t look like picture on website.
No hot tub like the photo shows.
Dead flies on fly strips. According to Sykes, the flies are attracted to the chicken farm poo!
Wouldn’t book with Sykes Cottages again as they didn’t help us with our complaints.
Low level Velux windows in children's bedrooms have no locks.
Utility room has strong smell of oil.
Nice large Kitchen.
Lovely living room with TV.
Beds were comfy.
Plenty of space in property for our family. -

Sheffield, United KingdomAlmost but not quite living up to expectation!
Left on 08/04/2011 for a stay in July 2011
The Coach House is well situated for exploring central Dorset and has a real wow factor when you walk through the door - large open plan living area, well designed kitchen and a separate dining area. On the whole the property is clean, well maintained and appointed (apart from some chipped crockery) and there are more saucepans than you could possibly need. A pleasant garden with table and chairs is a nice relaxing space to sit on a fine evening. However upstairs is something of a disappointment. The double room is fine, plenty of space in both the bedroom and the en-suite, but then the twin bedroom is a real let down. It is pokey (you have to move one of the beds to get into the wardrobe) with very little hanging space and no drawers, just shelving. As for the en-suite this is not designed for adults unless you are a contortionist. Head room is limited and designed for anyone over 5 ft. So remember your paracetamol for headaches!! This was a property which we liked, but would not return to, basically because sleeping spaces were not as comfortable as we would have wished for.

Leicester, United KingdomWorse place we have ever stayed in
Left on 08/03/2011 for a stay in July 2011
Toilet was broken upon arrival, Smell of oil from faulty boiler. The cleanliness of the cottage was appalling, The settees were covered in dirt and hairs, Dirty and rusty pans covered in grease, The utensils still had potato etc stuck to them, Cups, Shelves Etc were filthy, The summer quilt that was on the beds had hairs and pubic hairs all over them. The winter quilts Were thrown on the floor in the wardrobes with pillows which were covered in yellow stains. Cupboard under the stairs had dirty mop resting on other bedding. Also the 4* Visit England Certificate In the property was false it was for a property in Kent.

Left on 07/14/2010 for a stay in May 2010
I stayed in the property with my brother and found the accomodation ideal for us. A shower in the main bedroom would have been appreciated. The weather was good and we enjoyed exloring Dorset.
