    “It was clean and peaceful and the furnishings very comfortable.”

    The only potential if the weather was cold, heating seemed to be reliant on the Wood Burner as there were no instructions as to how the Central System was controlled/turned on. I think it would be prudent to mention somewhere in the property description/directions, that the roads/lanes to the property are very narrow which could have caused us an issue on one occasion. However the value for money was excellent and we will use Sykes again.
