• "My 7 friends and I stayed here over the weekend to celebrate some of our upcoming 30th birthdays and we had a fabulous time."

  The cottage had plenty of room for us all and we made use of the facilities. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The White Cottage and thought the welcome gifts were a lovely touch. The hot tub and outside area are brilliant (even if the weather wasn’t) and the cottage overall is perfect for a group getaway. There’s a Table Table within walking distance and plenty of other eating and drinking establishments nearby. A small bit of feedback would be that the seal around the downstairs shower seems to have failed because the floor was well saturated after using it. I forgot to mention to Andy when he came round on checkout day but it could do with looking at. On that subject, Andy was really helpful on check-in day by coming round to show us the facilities and we appreciated that extra touch. Overall we all really enjoyed our stay at the white cottage and would highly recommend it.

  Many thanks for those comments and letting me know about the shower Property Owner

• "Overall we enjoyed our stay at The White Cottage and we were grateful to Andy for coming over and ensuring we were settled in."

  Also, thanks for the welcome gifts. There were lots of things in the cottage that our children enjoyed especially the hot tub, games and cuddly fruit and vegetables! The cottage was very comfortable and ideal for a family. Lots of extra touches like throws etc were appreciated. However, it was extremely dusty. I know old places gather dust as we live in an old house but I couldn’t stop sneezing from it. Also, there wasn’t a brush to clean the barbecue with, unless we just couldn’t find it and the shower in the downstairs bathroom leaks through the bottom of the door. It also doesn’t say that the cottage is next to a very noisy busy road on the listing. Although, I guess this is my fault for not looking at google maps prior to booking it. Regardless we enjoyed the cottage and exploring the area.

  Friendly owner who contacted us and visited on our arrival to show us how to work the hot tub and other bits. Kitchen very well equipped with everything we needed. Comfortable seating in the Lounge. Plenty of dining seating too. Lovely garden area and great views of the cows in the field next to us.

• "The house was clean and tidy, however we had issues with a leaking roof in the downstairs toillet, some radators were not working correctly and toilet seat very loose."

  We aslo had a very disapointing situation on leaving, the person looking after the house (Andrew) turned up at exactly 10.00am and walked straight into the property and started to rearrange things even though we were still there cleaning and finishing off. I understand we should be out by 10.00 but we were out by 10 30 and have never been hassled like we were in this propety even though he have hired many sililar propities previously. Very poor attitude to their customers, I explained this was my wifes 70th birthday and we were running a little late but that mde no differnce to Andre, very RUDE AND OFF PUTTING !!

  I am sorry you felt that Andy was 'rude and off-putting'. When booking the cottage, you will have noted the time that the property needs to be vacated - this is to allow time to clean the house and patio area, and replace the water in the hot tub (it takes a full 5 hours sometimes, depending on how previous guests have left the house). We do like to have the house clean and ready on time for the next guests. We resolved the leaking roof within hours (fortunately a roofer was available at very short notice). Thank you for letting us know about the loose toilet seat - this has now been resolved. I do hope you enjoyed the Prosecco and chocolates we provided for you. KW Property Owner

  We had a great time, the cottage was large enough for our party, clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed the hot tub. We ate at the Dial in Burton on Saturday night, which we certainly recommend. The tapas were really good, and a great atmosphere. They were busy so would advise booking in advance

• "The cottage was delightful and the flowers and welcome pack most appreciated."

  The house was well equipped and comfortable but we were unable to operate the tv in the snug despite following the instructions and the one in the lounge rather small for modern standards. The fourth bedroom was rather small and the beds fine for children but we we had teenagers who were tall and adult in size so we felt these beds were rather inadequate for adults. The garden also would be much more inviting with some more updated and comfortable furniture so we used it minimally.. Delightful but definitely needs some updating to meet modern standards.

• "What a great holiday cottage."

  We really loved our welcome pack, it was a great start to our weekend away and really thoughtful. The cottage is beautiful, the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The lounge, bedrooms and bathrooms are all beautiful and very comfortable. We loved the hot tub and made good use of it. The cottage is close to a busy road, which initially worried us, however you can't hear the traffic once you're inside (or even see it) and when outside in the hot tub we didn't even notice it. We did a lovely walk past Bretby Hall to a local village for lunch and loved the area. We would definitely stay here again.

  Thanks for your lovely comments, you are welcome any time! Glad you enjoyed the hot tub xx Property Owner

• "Had property for 4 weeks throughout December for family reunion from around the world after 2 years of Covid restrictions."

  It is a lovely comfortable well furnished and really well equipped kitchen. Plenty of seating everywhere throughout. We were able to do a proper Christmas meal and hold birthday celebrations with ease. We had a 3 year old with us and soft toys and all necessary equipment were provided, a lovely Christmas hamper, and plenty of laundry as required and a great outside garden area, used BBQ but not hot tub! Nothing seemed to much trouble. Lighting in dining room a bit dim at this time of year and we did have some problems with heating and a roof leak all dealt with very quickly - would happily go back again.

  Thanks for your lovely comments Rosemary, so glad your long-planned reunion went well! xx Property Owner

• "Our holiday cottage was beautiful and we very much appreciated the fact we were able to have a break due to the difficulties the last year or so has presented for everyone!"

  We have been going away as a group of ladies every year over 28 years now staying in cottages across England. We’ve used Sykes for several occasions too for this. Every year it becomes easier to book, keep track and appreciate the reminders. I still like the personal touch of speaking to someone to book the cottages when possible and this was possible this time round too. The cottage was lovely and clean. The layout was perfect especially as I’d had a hip replacement (very short notice and really didn’t want to miss out on going away) and was able to have downstairs bedroom and bathroom facilities which were a god send! One lovely bonus moment was watching the cows and young calves bouncing about in the field right by the cottage!! There’s always a compromise with most cottages we stay in and on this occasion it was the busy road alongside. But we knew to expect this as we always check the map before booking. To be honest it wasn’t an issue once inside and definitely not noticed with the bubbles of the hot tub noise! We all left wishing we owned the cottage and had the lovely decorative taste of the the owners! We were tempted to book their other cottage for another occasion knowing their standard of provision but sadly it was not big enough for us all. We love our opportunity to go way together with our friends and it’s cottages like this that make it possible to keep everyone happy so thank you!! Kindest regards Clare and friends !

  Thanks for your lovely feedback! It's an absolute pleasure to have people use the cottage to get together after a couple of horrible years. Best wishes and please come again, K xx Property Owner

• "Beautiful cottage, extremely well furnished and fully equipped with all you could need for your visit."

  Bedding and towels were prestine. Only negative is that you can hear passing traffic and single beds in one bedroom were rather uncomfortable for young adults - probably fine for young children. Lovely convenient location and all local amenities fully detailed along with helpful suggestions for all your needs during the stay. Would highly recommend.

  The owners had thought of everything from towels and plastic glasses for the hot tub, cushions for the outdoor furniture and a parasol, a barbecue , a paddling pool for little ones, every utensil you could think of for the kitchen and excellent quality furnishings, bedding and accessories. A lovely welcome hamper on arrival was a really nice touch too. It was so clean and tidy on arrival and we were very happy with all aspects of the cottage, it was by far the nicest place we have stayed in.
