Ok, clean, not sure if I would come back.

Generally good facilities for the money, property was cosy and did the job for a few days.

Furnishings tired. Mattresses for single beds very poor quality and beds too low. They need replacing. Extractor fan in bathroom not working.

Great crash-pad if you're happy to 'slum-it' a bit when visiting Alton Towers!

The location is excellent and perfect for a trip to Alton Towers. Definitely easier than parking in the main car park and also quicker to get into the park from the property. The hosts were good at communicating before the stay and kindly allowed us to leave our cars at the property even after check out. It is a good size but probably best for 8 people not the 10 maximum.

We had very high hope for this property, but unfortunately our stay was towards the end of the summer season and it showed. The property felt worn and shabby in places, for example, the tap on the downstairs bathroom was hanging off the wall by a thread and the sofas had seen their best days a while ago. Most of the beds were very uncomfortable with thin mattresses and all sorts of lumps. Some of the bedding and towels had dark patches one them and although I have no doubt they had been cleaned the look did not make them feel clean. The kitchen and lounge area were not very clean with crumbs and dirt under the sofas as well as a sticky dining table and worktops. The kitchen was not particularly well stocked with cooking equipment. In one room there were two double beds to take the available sleeping arrangements from 8 to 10 - this was a bit odd.

Short break

Close to Alton towers

Mattresses/ small rooms/ old furniture , very expensive for 2 nights , not good value for money, owner needs to spend some Money on mattresses and sofas etc

Great location with good restaurants and pubs within a short drive. Could do with a bit of a refresh

It couldn't be better located for Alton Towers, less than 100yds from the entrance. It had all the equipment you need for a short stay. Showers were all very good, with good pressure/flow.

The beds we used weren't very comfortable. The mattresses could do with replacement. Some of the crockery was dirty/greasy, so hadn't been checked between stays.

Perfect location, potentially a great little cottage, just needs a little investment.

Location is amazing. Booked specifically to visit Alton Towers which is a two minute walk away, perfect. The little welcome of biscuits and crisps was a nice touch and the facilities in the kitchen were great - we had packed scourers, tea towels, kitchen roll, soap and cleaner but it was all provided which was great. Information folder is really good too. The area is so quiet, it’s lovely. Quaint cottage. Black outs for the skylights are a great idea.

This cottage has bags of potential but we felt it needs a little investment. Beds in particular were uncomfortable - one bed upstairs had broken slats but instead of repairing, solid boards of mdf had been placed under the mattress making it too uncomfortable to use. Also, some of the duvets and pillows were stained - the covers and pillowcases were clean but I don’t think I’d be asking visitors to strip the beds knowing how stained they are underneath. Disappointed the grass was knee high as we’d hoped our son could play in the garden. Needs a smart tv rather than freeview. It’s a bit overpriced in our opinion but you’re paying for that perfect location.

Okay for a short stay but wouldn’t rush back.

The location is brilliant. Less than 5 minutes walk to the park it’s literally on your doorstep. The property was big and spacious. Beds and towels all clean enough. Fridge freezer all okay. I liked the fact it had a washing machine but could use an airer at the property to hang washing out to dry.

The property needs a good clean and refurb. Everywhere is dirty, dusty and loads of cobwebs. The mattresses weren’t very comfortable but were ok for the short stay. The grassy area which is communal and meant to be usable was totally overgrown up to past our knees so we couldn’t even step into it to let the kids play. All the walls were a bit dirty and marked and the dining area walls were marked with what looked like snail trails. The sofa has seen better days. When we arrived the couch was all split apart and the cushions were so well used they were falling off the actual base the whole time we were there. I think the property could do with a really good deep clean.

Good for a night or 2 if spending the day at Alton towers

It was very close to Alton towers which was good, but at the same time it was very quiet (couldn't hear any noise from Alton towers!).

The venue wasn't very clean, cobwebs hanging from lights and dust on shelves. The beds were creaky, and the base of the shower was kicked in, there were also no bins in bedrooms or bathrooms. Some of the kitchen cupboards had been painted but the paint was peeling away.

Perfect for Alton Towers

Location was perfect for those visiting Alton Towers as the park is a 5 minute walk away. Accommodation was lovely with plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 children. Log burner really adds to the homely atmosphere

Perhaps a Smart TV where guests can watch Netflix if they want.

Perfect for alton towers

Excellent location for alton towers, 5 mins walk! Good size for 6 adults and 4 kids, everything you need to cook meals,host left milk and biscuits,nice touch.Better value than a hotel for a group of us and meant we could all sit together on a night

Opened kitchen window whilst cooking and loads of dead insects and spiders in the frame...needs a good clean!

Comfortable, sociable space in a fantastic location for alton towers! Perfect for extended family 😃

Fantastic location, few minutes walk to alton towers which was the main reason for our stay. Plenty of room for us all to sit and eat together comfortably, nice space for the kids to run around on the green area at the back. Open plan living area which was ideal. 3 bathrooms to the 4 rooms which was great. Felt safe and secluded. Decor was fresh, comfortable beds. The host was very friendly and accommodating.

Couple of VERY minor things, just as constructive criticism. Our ensuite bathroom and the bedroom didn’t have a bin. The ensuite floor was a little dusty and had some bits missed during cleaning, but nothing that put us off. The kitchen could do with a couple of larger bowls to serve food for a group. Again, just constructive criticism. The stay was fabulous!!

The whole family came down with Covid 19 3 days before. This was reported to Sykes cottages along with photographic evidence of the tests and email/text messages from the NHS to clarify. I asked for a voucher to use in the future. I did not ask for a refund but nothing was given. I find this dreadful behaviour when there was nothing we could do but break the law to go.

Fantastic self catering with Alton Towers on the door step.

Plenty of room for the kids to have their own rooms - got to the point they hate sharing! It had a lovely log burner and the whole property was really well laid out. We stayed within the Alton Towers resort last year which was really disappointing, this was so much better and only a 5 min walk to the park. No queueing for the mono rail or a long walk to the entrance. We didn't get a chance to explore this time but will definitely be back to do just that.

Nothing it was all lovely.
