    “No problem in finding cottage the direction's were spot on, parking was behind the cottage and we had no problem with parking are mazada.”

    The cottage has a small well maintained garden which although we were blessed with great weather for March we didn't use, we spent most of the day out and about. The house has a great modern kitchen with underfloor heating, a dishwasher hob and a oven which is the cleanest I have ever seen in a holiday home. Plenty of cookware glasses pans etc, in fact everything you could possibly need to cook meals should you so wish to, there is a good size fridge freezer as well. The bathroom is modern ...

    The cottage has a small well maintained garden which although we were blessed with great weather for March we didn't use, we spent most of the day out and about. The house has a great modern kitchen with underfloor heating, a dishwasher hob and a oven which is the cleanest I have ever seen in a holiday home. Plenty of cookware glasses pans etc, in fact everything you could possibly need to cook meals should you so wish to, there is a good size fridge freezer as well. The bathroom is modern and has a large shower and a wonderful bath, the water was hot and plentiful, a toilet and handbasin complete the bathroom. There is also a washing machine and a tumble dryer in the utility area. The lounge is large with two large very comfy sofas and a large armchair, large TV and a woodburning stove, next door is the dining room with table and chairs for four, a bookcase has a great selection of books games etc. The stairs were straight up with a good sturdy hand rail. At the top of the stairs is the toilet and hand basin, so no need to go downstairs to use the bathroom, there is also a really good night light which throws out a good amount of light to see where you are walking. The floor upstairs has wood floorboards, be aware of the step going into the larger bedroom and the floor feels like it slops slightly, but it is a old house. There is a large wardrobe and two chest of drawers with beside lamps and chair in the large bedroom, and in the second room bed with light over, hanging rail for clothes and dressing table, each room has a hairdryer. I have enjoyed my stay the house was clean well equipped warm and with quality furnishings. While staying here the kettle stopped working, I called one of the numbers I had been sent with all of the relevant information, I left a message and less than 5 mins later a lovely gentleman called back, and told me that his wife would pick up a new kettle for us. Safe to say within the hour we were able to sit down with a nice cup of tea. I would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommending this lovely house to friends, from start to finish I have been very impressed with skyes. Margaret and John.
