The problem in our view is mainly one of the maintenance. In the kitchen, probably the best room, there were not enough cutlery for 6 people. It was supplimented by children's plastic to make up 6 place settings. The plates and mugs had chips, which is not really acceptable practice. In the twin bedrooms the draws could not be opened as the handles had fallen off. The bathroom had holes on the wall where the towel rail had been ripped off and not repaired. The furniture was very tired to warrant a four star rating from Sykes the marketing operation responsible for the standards of their rental offering with their owners. Given that the property had to be vacated by 9 am and could not be entered until 4pm, a 7 hour window, there should be plenty of time to maintain and fix problems between rentals in our experience.
