"Brilliant accommodation, clean, everything provided, lovely location."
One small problem, the accommodation is attached to another and sound proofing was totally inadequate between the buildings. We could hear the two gentlemen talking etc. next door quite clearly, fortunately it wasn't a family in there which could have been a lot worse!

"The accomadation was as expected."
We had a brilliant week there. The weather was VERY hot. I suggestyou take a portable fan with you if the weather looks to be as hot as ours was! Rose and Thistle pub (left at entrance) excellent! The farm owners are very nice and did not appear to stop working. Will hope to go again sometime.

A really nice stay, local pubs and shops within 2-3 miles
Hosts very welcoming
Tried to fish the pond 3 times, not even a bite
The only let down is the adjoining property can be heard from yours, to the point you can hear what they are saying when in the bathroom
A lovely place to stay, lots to do in the area all within a hours drive, cities, beaches, castles and the new forest only 10 mins

"Pond View is a nice holiday cottage situated in a lovely landscape within a very attractive part of Hampshire."
One point to raise is the heating arrangements.The first weekend was exceptionally cold for the time of year.The bedroom was kept warm by keeping the heating on and the door closed.However,with only one small heater situated by the front door and a very high roof area it was not possible to heat the main lounge and kitchen area.We sat on Friday night wearing jumpers.Saturday,we went into Salisbury and brought a portable electric fire
so we could stay warm for the rest of the week.The only other problem,which only lasted until Monday and is no fault of the owners,was children being allowed to run around the properties
shouting until 10.30-11O'clock at night.Rhese two small problems should not detract from the advantages of spending a holiday at West Park Farm.

"Everything about the destination and the owners commitment to their customers was perfect - personal, personable and willing."
Everything about the Sykes end of the arrangement was rubbish. Sure, you have the automated touch-point comms perfectly sorted. And your system works hard to continuously engage and mine data. But from the moment something went wrong to the moment I gave up trying to reach a human being NOTHING met my needs. I doubt that we will willingly head your way again.

"We made the mistake of relying too much on the photographs of the property on your website."
On the website the photos show a light and airy sitting area, in reality it was very dark. Sadly there was no private area outside for us to sit except for two extremely dirty seats alongside a dirt track where farm vehicles constantly created a dust storm as they travelled along the track. Also there was evidence of wasp nests which prevented us from opening windows. All in all it was a disappointing trip, we left the very next day.

"The peace and quiet."
We were more than fortunate with the weather, but we were even more fortunate with our choice of accommodation ( which was mesmerising in its abundance ). We could not have chosen somewhere more appropriate for US. The facilities were beyond reproach - there was something for every need on a quiet holiday - a top class for comfort and cosiness in the cottage itself, but the owners on this working farm were effacive until approached, and then we were shown new lambs and new adoptions after untimely deaths. Local shopping and eating out were fantastic.A+++
