Andrew
Clean and warm on arrival (keysafe). Very comfy beds and seating. WiFi connection good and reliable. Very spacious property with good size fridge and freezer. Downstairs bedroom and shower room really useful. Downstairs shower had great pressure (12" step). Fully equipped with everything you need for self catering. Private secure parking. OK there are no views from the property but lovely quiet walks direct from property with views and close to Shipley park which is massive with nature reserves. A few things needed to improve , no matches or kindling left for fire, needs a local information pack, heavy wooden gates to private parking drag on the floor and difficult to open and close without physically lifting. Advised by Sykes owners choose not to provide any contact details and any contact is via Sykes, contact details would be helpful . Would book again without hesitation .

Log burner worked well. Garden excellent for spring and summer use. Downstairs shower room somewhat dirty, radiator not working and rusty, shelf needed for toiletries. No shower in main bathroom so difficult for hair washing plus no bath mat. Approximately 12 light bulbs need replacement in the property. Driveway to property very poor with deep pot holes everywhere.
