Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"We stayed here from the 23-30th December and really appreciated the Christmas decorations around the house and the welcome pack."
There was everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay and you can tell the owners take pride in this property. We would definitely recommend staying here.

"I was disappointed that the neither the owner or Sykes thought it relevant to inform us that there is an active construction site immediately behind the property."
Luckily we had good weather and were out a lot of each day. We were impacted by noise mostly in the mornings as work began at 8am (and finished by 4pm).
Apart from that elephant in the room, it is a nice property and well located for exploring the Wolds.

"Beautiful, relaxing property, extremely comfortable with everything needed for your stay."
Adjacent parking spot to the property. Very peaceful, ideal location to use as a base with the advantage of an award winning Fish & Chip shop 2 minutes away, along with a quite decent pub 5 minutes walk away, serving decent food and some very nice real ales. A couple of local residents also sell the most fabulous Free Range eggs from the door too.

The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable and the owners are both friendly and helpful. The area is perfect for walking, cycling and generally exploring with lots to see and do.

Bearing no reflection on the cottage I think Sykes Cottages should point out that there isn't any public transport in Wetwang, if you wish to explore the surrounding towns you really do need transport.
