We usually love our time at Harcombe and have been many times, but this time we were disappointed that the swimming pool needed maintenance and would be out of action for the whole week of our stay. It's a lovely place to stay and we love it and have been going for many years but the swimming pooI is one of the main reasons we go there. Also, the on-site cafe was shut for the whole week. I've given 3 stars this time for the reasons above, but if both of the above were open it would be 5.

Thank you for your feedback Helena. We are sorry the pool and cafe were closed during your stay. Could you share the dates of your visit and any booking details so we can pass this to our team and investigate further? We appreciate your loyalty and want to look into this.

App says there is no connection when there is. Cannot use it. Reinstalling doesn't help. Update 1/3/2026: when booking, my credit card was rejected so I paid deposit by debit. Now there's no way in app to change card to pay the balance, and God help you if you need to contact Sykes by phone

Hi Pig Mendoza. Thank you for your review and for highlighting this issue. Due to technical problems the app went down over certain parts of the weekend but is now back up and running. If you still have any issues please email us at apps@sykescottages.co.uk and we'll be happy to help. Thanks again- Ethan

The barn is absolutely fantastic, it was great with the underfloor heating, there is everything you need and the welcome pack was really appreciated, our only criticism is that they should have a sign at the end of the drive, we went quite a lot and came back in the dark and it was a bit awkward to find in the rain and fog, but all in all it was very comfortable and our dogs loved it, thank you very much
