However the flood we experienced was very upsetting and very badly dealt with by Sykes and the owner so we will not be staying again. This was caused by all the drains being blocked in the bad thunderstorms we experienced. The wasps nest is still in the roof despite someone else mentioning it in July.

.. Some of the lights in the kitchen were out. There is a wasp nest in the roof on the northside. This ment we were unable to open the velox windows else the wasps came in. On the Monday evening the property behind the cottage had a motorbike reving up for more than an hour. This was not the quiet relaxing holiday we had been hoping for. Would I stay in Gerrard again? Probably not. Although has not put us off the area.

Dirt in the fridge. Cobwebs around the ceilings. Cutlery in the drawers were unclean. TV remote covered in dirt. The list is enless - when reported the next morning we were told to wait, whilst Sykes Cottages representative contacted the owners and cleaners. Now refusing to refund any payment for their job not well done. I would not recommend this property, due to the owners lack of empathy in this matter. We spent hours on arrival that night cleaning - I book many holidays through Sykes - I may need to rethink my holidays in the future
