Friendly hosts and we always felt at home with them, the cottage was like the place we would all love to live in. We will continue to book our holidays with Sykes as we have been satisfied with all our holidays so far. Author: Mr Chapman, Snodland, - Date of Stay: 10/2011

The bed and seating were very comfortable and helped make this a relaxing stay. Excellent hosts. Author: Mr Elliott, Thatcham, Berkshire - Date of Stay: 09/2011

Once the weather had brightened we enjoyed the countryside, particularly Clumber Park. We also thought that Retford was the sort of town which, for its size, most people would like near them. We also enjoyed the bird life around the area. Author: Mr Grace, Swindon, Wiltshire - Date of Stay: 09/2011

The owners were very welcoming and friendly. The cottage itself was very comfortable, beautifully furnished and the facilities were of a high standard. Excellent stay all round. Author: Ms Mason, Ruislip, - Date of Stay: 08/2011
