Tried your local number, but it referred me to the Chester number. Phoned that, but it rang for 10 mins and I gave up. Sorted the issue. Had it been a true, true emergency I would have been stuck. Possible enough to put me off renting from you again.

- The banisters and skirting boards on the stairs need a lick of paint, - One of the bedrooms needs a lick of paint - The outside door needs a lick of paint - A number of the windows would not open - The shower over the bath in the upstairs bathroom leaked a lot - The toilet seats did not fit the toilets properly, they were a bit small and uncomfortable. - The door to the garden was very difficult to unlock - The garden furniture needs a good clean

The zip link bed that was supposed to be linked wasn't, it was a twin and downstaires shower head needs fixing properly. Other than that it was all fine. I've stayed in this house several times and probably will again. There was an issue with broken TV aerial, which once reported was fixed the same day. Prompt, friendly repair work. My gripe is with Sykes web page. They make it deliberately difficult to get that initial contact. When this was Lyme Bay company it was much easier and more personal service. Overall this is not a bad house to stay in, location is great there are just a few niggles creeping in since Sykes took over.
