We very much enjoyed our week at Sybil Cottage, which we found exceedingly well-equipped and comfortable. The beautiful weather allowed us to make full use of the garden. The elder of our two young grandsons, aged two and a half, really loved the zip-wire and the tyre for swinging. It's a great place for multi-generational family groups.
A few points:
a. the sofas were comfortable, but a bit shabby.
b. the oven had not been cleaned - we cleaned it before we left. Not a pleasant job!
c. the lady who brought us the keys was a bit confused about which keys opened what - it took a fair bit of sorting out - she said it was her husband who knew about all the keys.
d. for a house which is furnished to cater for eight people the fridge is too small.
e. getting into and out of the drive can be tricky if there is a car or van parked in the road outside the cottage - I know that nothing can be done about this, but thought it worth mentioning.
f. if the trampoline is as dangerous as all the notes in the house told us, why is it still in the garden? Keeping a young child off it is difficult!
g. on one of the nights a continuously barking dog from a neighbour's house kept the adults in our group awake till about 2.30am, and woke up the young children with us. Again, not the cottage's fault, but worth noting.
h. and finally, a welcome pack of some basics would have been nice - milk, bread, a cake? This seems to be the practice of many hoilday cottage agencies we have dealt with in the past.
I hope you take these points as constructive criticism. Our holiday was a delight. If we were in the area again we would certainly consider re-booking.
