Reviews
So disappointing, what could have been a wonderful holiday and cottage totally spoilt by a lack of care, cleanliness or pride in the business. We booked a week but checked out after a few days due to the dirt, grime and lack of upkeep in the property and its contents. The kitchen was too dirty to prepare a meal, the washing machine full of dog hair and the garden furniture unusable. The property is totally unsuitable for children of crawling age the floors are disgusting. The photos are very out of date and I do not believe any of the so very excellent reviews on Sykes’ website that influenced us to book the cottage.
We went August bank holiday week as a family of 4 and one dog. The cottage is located just less than 2 miles outside of Barnard Castle and is on the grounds of a working farm. The kids 9 and 11 absolutely loved the experience of farm life. All the animals, a small wood to explore and fruit trees in the grounds. As it's just up the hill outside of Barnard Castle it's so quite day and night so peaceful if you want to be out of the way. As a family and as a couple on holiday the location was spot on. Close enough to the centre but plenty to do locally if you like the outdoors. The cottage has its own gated courtyard where the dog has free roam of and WiFi connection for the kids to be entertained at night. Andy and Kerry the owners and their daughter Millie were so welcoming and nothing was to much bother and had plenty of time for the kids trying there best to get involved/get under their feet. For us this is a place we visit again and again.
Needs a good deep clean and driveway repair.Shame because it has everything you need for a good break.
