"We loved this house, after staying in many Sykes properties this was one of my faves, Purley based on the tasteful decoration it has been beautiful finished and spotlessly clean."
Everything you needed for your stay. One thing that I was particularly touched by, was the milk, shortbread biscuits, tea & coffee. That was very nice, also the provision for the dog, feeding/water bowls/blanket all you would need had been thought of. If you wanted to make any improvements a minor things you could do, one would be the cordless hoover is really rubbish at picking up, esp dog hair. I would recommend the 'Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Pet Vacuum' we have it at home. It's Light, picks dog hair up, bigger bin. Easy to use. Or just a soft broom would better that the hoover that's there at present. I love Sykes cottages you alway know what you will get, continuely good standard time after time. Thankyou for a pleasant stay.

"Our stay was fabulous."
The cottage was everything we could have wished for. The only issue we had was the lack of a grab rail in the bath area. This made it more difficult to get out of the bath so someone with slight mobility issues. We loved the decor, the furnishings and the little finishing touches were excellent. We would definitely revisit. Katie and Matt

"We stay in holiday cottages several times a year and Applestow was amongst the best."
The standard of comfort and cleanliness was superb. We just needed an information guide for WiFi details, bin collection and heating. But the owner responded straight away to my text asking for information, so we were not inconvenienced at all. We would love to return and stay at Applestow.
We are delighted to hear you had a wonderful stay at the cottage and we would love to welcome you back in the future. As new hosts we are very appreciative of your feedback and a guest folder is currently in print, which will provide useful information for future guest stays. We hope to see you again, best wishes Ben and Emma. Property Owner

"The cottage was lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean there were just a couple of things that are needed more hanging space for clothes which could easily be done as there are too large wardrobe spaces and an information booklet for where to put rubbish out and where to operate the central heating which we did find ourselves apart from that everything was excellent thank you."
Thank you for your kind feedback, which is very much appreciated. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Applestow cottage and do hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Ben and Emma. Property Owner
