This cottage was everything and more than it mentioned in the description. A perfect cottage, also a lot more spacious than we had expected.
Rowdens Barn was within easy reach of lovely places to visit. We thought the setup of the six cottages was ideal and the enclosed garden would be great to bring our dog along with us next time! The games room was definitely an extra asset too!
We had a lovely last minute stay at Rowdens Barn, the accommodation was high quality and very in keeping. The games room was excellent for 2 kids and the small enclosed garden a very good idea to keep our dog safe. We are hoping to return in October with friends.
Rowdens Barn is a lovely accommodation overall and situated in a good place to get out and about.
What a relaxing and well kept place to stay. Perfect for a weekend in the country side with a log fire for those cold winter nights. Perfect for dogs too with secure grounds, just fabulous!
It was very comfortable and well equipped, with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
The property was outstanding, immaculate and clean considering its dog friendly accommodation. It was home from home. Very well catered for both a toddler and dog! Everything you needed. Would recommend to all.
The accommodation is excellent with very good quality furnishings, which made the stay so relaxing as it was such a lovely space.
A beautiful cottage in a lovely area, it was everything we wanted. There was a garden and a lovely communal garden for all 6 cottages to share. The games room was fantastic too. Would have loved to stay longer.
We liked the overall quality of the accommodation, the whole development and the relaxing atmosphere of the place.
A clean, well appointed cottage in a lovely location.
We were so delighted with the property, we felt we could immediately relax and start to enjoy ourselves. The information about local pubs etc. was very useful as we only went for a short time and you do not really have time to explore so having advice was invaluable. The property was beautifully clean and well equipped. The iced buns for the first cup of tea was a lovely touch!
First class venue. Would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone
The holiday site was very presentable and maintained. The amenities were first class and information readily available. The site is centrally situated to places of interest and the countryside is beautiful. We were fortunate to have very good weather for our stay. We were very comfortable in the Barn.
The property was very presentable and maintained. The amenities were first class and information readily available. We were very comfortable in the Barn. We were very fortunate to have found such a lovely cottage on Sykes' website. We look forward to seeing next years Brochure.
New in June 2014 we were among the first guests in this lovely complex of 6 barn conversions. Everything is tasteful and good quality. This property is ideal for those with limited mobility as even the entrance is level and parking is adjacent. The outside patio and small lawn are fully enclosed by a 3ft fence so were ideal for relaxed outdoor dining (& wining) with our pooches. Very highly recommended!
This accommodation was excellent and conveniently located. I would be very happy to stay there again and recommend to others.
Very comfortable accommodation with an excellent kitchen well above the normal standard. Easy access and good directions to local attractions and pubs. In a quiet area.
