“We have just spent an idyllic week in Camellia cottage where every need was catered for.”
Our main requirements was for an enclosed garden for our dog (tick) and a walk in shower for our daughter with mobility issues. (There is a step onto the shower tray which she could cope with). The cottage is in a beautiful and tranquil location with good access to the main A roads, once you learn to ignore your sat nav and know which country lanes to avoid. There's a pub next door with friendly staff and good food. We were never disturbed by any noise though. And for anyone wondering what else you need to take, I felt the description on Sykes website vastly undersold the facilities. Kitchen - oven, fridge and freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, tassimo, coffee french press, cupboards full of all the cutlery, crockery, pots and pans you could need. But also provided are all the basics to get you started, coffee, tea bags, salt and pepper, milk, washing up liquid, hand soap, pot and hand towels. It was all the additional touches like the treats for the dog, prosecco and scones with jam and cream, apples in the fruit bowl which were particularly thoughtful. There was a huge supply of DVDs, not to mention Netflix and Amazon Prime. There was a vast supply of games for both indoors and out. A picnic table and BBQ in the well tended garden, and a washing line. The heating was only needed briefly a couple of times and it quickly and efficiently warmed the house within minutes so I can imagine how cosy it would be in cooler months. There were plenty of beautifully fluffy towels, pillows and bedding and again basics like soap and toilet rolls. There was even an assortment of dog bowls, a towel, poo bags and a dog bed. But also hair dryer, iron, vacuum plus more besides. I appreciate it's impossible for the advert to state all the above and perhaps there are some owners that don't focus on the details to the same extent, but I felt this would be useful to know. So if you're planning a trip I would definitely recommend this property which has been well thought through, and is tended with lots of love, care and attention to detail.
