THE AREA

“The Old Byres is a beautiful property set in the gorgeous town of Washford.”

It sleeps 16 adults comfortably; there were 14 of us staying for 4 nights over Christmas 2018. It’s spacious and very well maintained; it has everything you could need. We all had an amazing time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and Sykes.

“The house was stunning and far exceeded expectations.”

We had the most wonderful time and would love to go back again.

“Everyone thought the house was fantastic.”

Brilliant facilities. Pool room was great. Owners were really helpful and so was Hannah. Great amount of crockery, glasses, etc. Plenty of room for everyone. Photos don’t do it justice!

Reviews

Large Group Holiday Cottage

This cottage is extremely spacious and provides a fabulous holiday home for families wishing to celebrate that special occasion in style and luxury.

Combining character features with modern décor and with underfloor heating and two woodburners, this wonderful cottage feels welcoming and special.

The hub of the home is no doubt the large kitchen diner with handmade refectory table positioned close to the patio doors, so that the family can spill out on to the lawn for alfresco breakfasts and summery evening barbecues.

Alternatively, on cooler evenings, the kitchen/diner has a woodburner and sofas for relaxing in front of the chef!

The cosy sitting room has high vaulted ceilings with plenty of exposed oak beams, a collection of deep sofas and a woodburner to toast your toes after a day’s walking in the countryside, or a hectic day on the beach.

Relax together for a film night or for a quieter moment there is a piano for the musical member of the family to entertain you.

The Accommodation

Sleeping up to 16, this cottage has been beautifully decorated and furnished to a high standard. With most bedrooms having en-suite bathrooms, this fabulous cottage offer all of the luxuries that you would expect from a holiday home.
