“Sadly I feel I have had to downgrade this property somewhat because in my opinion the photograph is misleading and infers a cottage which is quite isolated with a spacious drive and 3 acres of land .”
..which by the way was very hilly.
Little did I know that there was a house adjoining it and the drive could accommodate 4 cars for the up to 8 residents of the rented house..hardly the 'isolated cottage' as depicted on the photograph
When we consider the cottage itself it is very clean and its furnishings are excellent ....however...little did I realise that it had two excellent bedrooms , one downstairs with an en suite , and one upstairs but WITHOUT a bathroom ..the bathroom for this bedroom was downstairs !!
Indeed, there was no water facilities whatsoever upstairs This means if you wanted to use the lovely lounge area upstairs and required a drink of water you had to go downstairs...if you wanted a cup of tea you had to carry cups , teapot , and food up the stairs.
Not having toilet facilities upstairs for most people would be a minor inconvenience , but if you are elderly , having to negotiate stairs can be a problem .
I hope this gives food for thought and I feel that Sykes should depict a photograph showing Highbeck Cottage and HOUSE
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the cottage was not quite to your liking. We take all feedback very seriously and have looked at the pictures and description on our website to see if anything needs amending. We feel the current description is accurate in describing the family bathroom on the ground floor, a bedroom with an en-suite on the ground floor along with the kitchen and dining room and the first floor having a bedroom with the lounge. Highbeck Cottage is a lovely property with spectacular views that are not to be missed.
