"A nice cottage and garden with a lovely view at the back of the garden."
Everything was clean and well presented. In a good position for days out in the area. Just one small thing - the lock on the bathroom door doesn't work so needs seeing to.
-
"The cottage was lovely and warm and exactly what we expected from the description."
The comfortable upstairs study was an added bonus.
-
"Excellent location for Silverstone and homely accomodation."
Despite the weather we had a great break. Welcome pack very much appreciated. Would love to come back next year.

"Kite Cottage offers a wonderful home from home experience with a lovely welcome pack."
It has all the required facilities and is very comfortable. The quiet area is very relaxing with a lovely garden and views over the fields. The location offers easy access to a number of activities- we were specifically in the area for a karting championship but managed to do much more- with lots of variety. We would definitely recommend this property

"We enjoyed our stay at Kite Cottage, set in a beautiful location, nice and quiet and just what we were after."
The cottage itself was lovely nice and airy and bright, the welcome basket, milk and information provided was a lovely gesture. The only points that could use a little attention are there was metal shavings and a screw near the patio door inside, looks like a new door but hadn't been cleaned properly. Also there was no pizza cutter that we could find. As mentioned before the seating in living room was a little uncomfortable but bearable. This doesn't take away from the cottage we would definatly return. Thank you for a lovely stay :)
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the location and view over the fields made it really relaxing."
Thank you for the thoughtful welcome pack. We did struggle to close and lock the patio door on occasion, maybe that was the heat! Apart from that, the house had everything you could wish for.

"We had a lovely stay at Kite Cottage in June 24'."
The property is in a perfect spot, a quiet rural location with stunning views from the rear/ garden of the properties. The property is exactly as the listing describes, and is well kept, maintained and managed. Owners leave lots of details and information and are at hand if required during your stay. The village has a shop and a pub in strolling distance with additional shops/ facilities in the local Brackley. And Silverstone is a short 5-10 minute drive away, but you'd never know! So close but the property is as serene and rural as you'd hope. I also enjoyed some lovely walk/ running routes from the property along the local paths and Bridleways. Thanks for a lovely stay Chris and Jane!

"I can highly recommend this property, it had everything we needed, and absolutely spotless."
It was very quiet and lovely view from the amazing back garden, which was secure for the dog. We couldn't fault it and would certainly stay again if up in the area. Chris and Jane were very quick to reply to a query I had, and the property is a credit to then. Excellent all round thank you

"Returned to the wonderful Kite Cottage for another relaxing visit."
We have family in the area and it is a twofold joy to visit - one to see grandchildren and two to relax in the peace and quiet of Kite. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing base to return to of an evening whether you are actively or leisurely enjoying your days. Every comfort and amenity and then some including a welcome pack is provided and having stayed in many cottages over the years, I can't think of a more pleasant one. Thanks and hope to visit again soon :-)

"The cottage was very clean and welcoming with a lovely welcome basket too."
Everthing you needed was there. The garden was very secure for our dog and a good size. We had a really lovely stay.
-
"What a fabulous cottage."
Spotlessly clean & comfortable with everything needed for a weeks stay. Lovely views to the rear, central for many museums & National Trust properties & a 300 yard walk to a very welcoming pub
-
"The property was first class."
Central to all our intended destinations. Close to major road routes, yet in a very quiet location in an attractive village with a shop and post office. Ample off road parking. Cosy and clean. We slept very soundly. Nice garden with furniture available and with a rural view overlooking farm land. Well equipped kitchen with an under-counter freezer which meant one could shop once at start of holiday. Good Internet service. It might be a tight fit for 4 adults but perfect for the two of us. Generous welcome pack. Thank you for offering such a great place to stay.

"Everything was great."

"LOUNGE SEATING LETS THIS COTTAGE DOWN - NEEDS COTTAGE STYLE HIGHER SEATING."
OTHERWISE EXTREMELY GOOD COTTAGE. WELL SITUATED - WARM & COSY - OWNERS HAVE OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO THINK OF EVERYTHING. WOULD GO AGAIN IF LOUNGE SEATING UPGRADED.
-
"Another repeat visit to the lovely Kite Cottage."
A very clean, well equipped and comfortable cottage to base ourselves for visiting family and friends in the area. Difference makers are that the cottage is not allowed to get tired as there is always updating taking place and the enclosed garden is very dog friendly The welcome basket is always a joy and well utilised. Having already booked our next visit we can heartily recommend Kite to all.
-
"Nice modern house in a quiet area."
Very clean. Creaky stairs and landing so it was difficult to be quiet at night. Main bed too firm for me but hubby didn't mind it. Small bathroom but functional. Bedding/towels clean and fresh. Kitchen well equipped but I couldn't find a garlic press or measuring jug. Welcome pack was lovely, thank you. Overall, we had a pleasant stay.
-
"Brilliant stay perfect for our needs and very comfortable."
The host was very attentive to the fact we have children and made sure to put toys in the house for them and anything else we might of needed. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is that I think that the cleaner forgot to vacuum downstairs as there was quite a bit of dog hair when we vacuumed a few days into the stay. Our baby had been down on the floor so that wasn’t ideal. Other than that absolutely fantastic property to holiday in. We would absolutely book again.

"This was our second visit to Kite cottage and it was just as lovely as our first visit!"
Well equipped, well presented and in a lovely location. We will definitely go back.
-

"Had a loveley few days at this cottage - set in a very pretty part of the rural Midlands."
-
"We loved staying at Kite Cottage."
Everything that you needed was there for you. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and made our stay even more enjoyable. I will most definitely be recommending Kite Cottage to my Friends & Family
-
"We enjoyed our second trip to Sykes Cottage, very peaceful and good walks with the dog."
My one worry would be that the local pub seems close to closing and no longer does food. Not the cottages fault but s factor regarding booking again. But a great stay was had this time.
-
"Beautifully clean and well equipped."
-
"Lovely cottage with lovely garden in lovely village!"
We would recommend the local pub too - everyone was very friendly. We will definitely book again.

"Another wonderful stay at Kite."
As in previous visits we found a wonderfully clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped cottage. Syresham is a charming and welcoming small village where we base ourselves for visits to family and friends in Milton Keynes and Northampton. Great days out in wonderful blue skies were finished off beautifully in the relaxing feeling of Kite of an evening - with a malt whisky and some cheese. Enjoyed visits to Woburn Safari Park and Stowe Gardens, ending our final night with a first class meal in the local Kings Head pub & restaurant - certainly worth a visit. Thanks again and looking forward to next time.
-
"A further return visit to the lovely Kite Cottage."
Having stayed previously we knew that we would get a wonderfully clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped cottage - we were not disappointed. We were using the cottage as a base for attending our youngest son's wedding in nearby Shalstone and then visiting family/friends in Milton Keynes and Aylesbury. After busy days it was perfect to return to the quiet and comfort of Kite. Thank you for the very thoughtful welcome basket. We have already booked a return for early next year - so I guess that says it all :-)
-
"Fabulous stay lovely welcoming pack, very clean lovely linen on the beds."
.. Lovely garden for the dog.if I was being really really picky would have a larger sofa in lounge... But thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property stay to everyone oh and it's in a beautiful village to walk around.
-
"Exceptionally clean and with a high standard of furnishings."

-
"Kite Cottage was comfortable, in a beautiful village."
Thank you to the owners for the lovely welcome. The flowers wine and dog treats were lovely extras. We would highly recommend this property and would would definitely use it again.
-
"We had an excellent stay."
Very quiet location. Very nice welcome hamper. As previously mentioned by other guests, the couch was very soft and difficult for people of our age to get out of. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend.
-
"Most importantly the beds were very comfortable."
The lounge settee not quite so as it is too soft and you sink into it, also dining chair backs are angled forward resulting in an uncomfy seating position. The view at the rear of the property is fantastic as it looks over arable farmland and wooded hills, very tranquil and peaceful. The enclosed rear garden is a nice size with the above views and perfect if you have a dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"Kite Cottage is a lovely, clean house with everything you need for a happy stay."
A lovely welcome pack awaited us. The house is situated in a quiet village, which is just what we had hoped for.
-
"We had a very peaceful three nights at Sykes cottage, mainly relaxing in the peaceful village."
We would certainly recommend as a comfortable cottage.
-

The weather was awful when we arrived but the cottage was so welcoming with fresh flowers and warmth. My partner enjoyed long walks with our dog and I enjoyed exploring the charming village. We will definitely book again. Thank you.

)

"Having been impressed with our first stay at Kite last year, we returned for a week break to visit family."
This is an excellent property with all the comforts of home and every facility thought of. In these days of Covid it is really great to arrive at an obviously clean and well cared for property. We had a wonderful stay and appreciated the lovely welcome pack. Already booked a further stay for later in the year. Thanks to all.

"We had a wonderful stay at Kite Cottage."
The cottage was everything we expected and more, with all the facilities you could wish for. Very comfortable and extremely clean (more important than ever these days). It allowed us to relax inhouse, visit friends and family and do some interesting sightseeing. As we like to eat in quite often, every little convenience was thought of, which made life easy. With the added range of information on local 'things to do', we did not have to waste time researching and had some excellent dog walks. The welcome basket was much appreciated, as was the pre-visit chat with the lovely Jane. We look forward to returning :-)
-
"Kite cottage is one of the best we've stayed at."
The cottage was spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated in a contemporary style, yet very homely. The beds and furniture seemed very new and were comfortable. Everything we needed was supplied including toilet rolls and soap. There was also an amazing welcome basket of wine, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits, with milk in the fridge. The cottage itself was in a lovely quite area yet close to places of interest like Oxford or Stratford. We had a very pleasant stay and would not hesitate to book Kite cottage again in the future.
-
"A nice cottage in a quiet peaceful village and easy to get to other places."
Information provided re the cottage and about local area, pubs etc. Nice garden - we watered the plants but didn't mow the lawn which was quite long in places - not ideal when clearing up after the dog. Lovely outlook from the garden. We bought bottled water as found the tap water a bit hard - was always a residue of scale in the bottom of washing up water and mugs stained easily. We bought our own mugs for that reason. Overall though was a really lovely cottage.
-
"Very clean and very nice welcome basket."
Nice area for gentle walking and exploring especially Stowe Gardens National Trust.
-
"The owners were very accommodating, lovely area with everything you need for a great break."
-
"A very warm welcome from the hosts and a lovely clean little property which was perfect for our needs."
Great views and lovely walks in the local area. Syresham is a lovely village and has good amenities and a great location.
-
"No mention of early morning wake up, around 6am, neighbours rooster, ok if you are a heavy sleeper, good place to stay near A43, quick route to other places."
-
"Beautiful cottage, real homely feel to it."
Peaceful surroundings which meant a good recharge of the batteries. Lovely welcoming package, which was thoughtful and appreciated. Highly recommend and would come again. Loved it!
-

Kitchen appliances were easy to operate, but could have done with more ovenproof/microwaveable dishes.
