What our customers say about their holidays

• Richard - Verified booking

  The cottage is in a nice location, with views across a small field , with the road beyond.

  The cleaning is excellent and the seating, beds and general furnishings are good. Whilst a ground floor bedroom was great for us, the two steps up into the bathroom were not mentioned and did present a problem. The kitchen was badly designed when installed and there is not one cupboard available for self catering guests to put there own items into. These items, therefore, take up a large proportion of the worksurface . The problem with the property was the lack of general maintenance, which had not been addressed for some considerable time, as well as lack of attention to detail. Three torches were said to be in the property. There were none. This was reported, but none appeared during our stay. (It is very dark in the property at night) The kitchen tap was continually dripping and this had been pointed out to them by previous occupants two months earlier. (The kitchen is next to the downstairs bedroom, so this doesn't help sleep.) The back door lock was ineffective and the door opened with a slight push, thus placing possessions at risk of theft. The outside areas had seen better days. The front patio needed urgent attention to the surrounds. The rear garden, was full of large weeds, living and dead brambles and various rotting metallic ornaments. Not a pleasant place to sit and relax. The owner says that they are unaware of some defects, as they do not live locally, but they need to be more proactive. If they sorted these matters, it would make it a place worth staying at.

  We had a lovely stay of 3 weeks at the Millhouses Hideaway whilst building work was done at home.

  The house was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Tracey was there when we arrived and was at the end of the phone, when we had a question, throughout our stay. Will was very responsive when the smoke alarm went off due to a problem with the oven door that they are getting replaced. The beds are very comfortable. The on suite has a soft mattress which we loved but others are firmer if you prefer that. The internet can go down for a short time in the evenings when the demand increases but we were able to get it back on by rebooting the router. We noticed that the water, when running a bath, runs hot then cold for a minute or two but if you leave the taps on it goes hot again and runs a lovely hot bath. There is a path into the woods and Millhouses park by the house next door and that is ideal for dogs. The back garden doesn’t have a gate but there is an old door to slide across to keep small dogs in the garden. We didn’t use the garden as it was wet and quite dark during our stay but we didn’t need it with the park being so close. We would recommend the house for other visitors. Ideally placed in the South of Sheffield for local walks and the Peak District as well as Sheffield City Centre.

  An excellent base for our trip to Sheffield.

  Loads of Buses and trains so you can easily get to the city and areas surrounding the city. From busy Sheffield to wild moor is only 2.5 miles. Beat that for convenience if you want National Park scenery. Loads of galleries and museums and green parks galore. Our base was great and a real home from home. We met Will and his adorable family and they helped us out with technology..... Old folk are technophobic you know. A lovely quiet place with an amazing park 5 yards away. Join the athletes... where do they get their energy? Every facility to keep you fit and for children to enjoy themselves. Visit the industrial village 400 yards up the road. It's so good. These were the best beds ever. So comfy. Shops and pubs around so you don't have to cook. Visit the Moor market in the city centre for The best curry. A wonderful culture-packed holiday made better with pleasant holiday accommodation. Oh, the water makes excellent tea... a real bonus. Well done Team Will. We will see you next year.

  A comfortable, well equipped home apart from too small a fridge for 4 adults and for our 11 nights stay, difficult keeping our drinks cold!

  but managed and a visit to Richmond for food midweek was possible. As all are used to a dishwasher having none made clearing up after a family meal a bit of a chore however view from kitchen window was enjoyable and a routine was established.We and our dog Mac enjoyed the many walks from the front door and the ability to walk to the local pubs and restaurant ,a peaceful relaxing stay with wonderful views of the countryside and especially enjoyed the woodburner,while eating our meals or sitting chatting in the lounge . We appreciated that the owner was available if needed and knew the area well.We had a lovely Christmas & New Year family get-together, thank you for the care and attention to detail you have put into T'Other End,Arkle Town House,the Christmas tree and welcome box was appreciated ,Best wishes for a great 2024.

  I was given information from Sykes on contacting the owner for the key code number for our stay.

  The day before we contacted via the number only to find that the person on the end of the phone was in CYPRUS I was charged 65p as this was made outside my plan and I was unaware. She rang her mother to sort it out. Needless to say I am not happy. Please can things like this be ironed out. The window in the bedroom was twisted and could not close properly so we had a towel stuffed to stop the draft. There was no heating in that room. I have been advised that this has been addressed but not sure if anyone checks. Please could this be passed onto the owners of the Little Bower and make sure they are NOT OUT OF THE COUNTRY when visitors have been given this contact. It certainly taints my use of Sykes as a means of booking a cottage.
