    Warm throughout even though weather outside was dreadful. Very comfortable beds, excellent en-suite facilities. Wonderful views from the kitchen and especially from the living room. Superbly appointed - everything and more that we could need. Tasty cake and coffee pods waiting for us! Can't wait to return.

    Cobwebs everywhere, the ceiling had to be swept off, windows, that also had cobwebs all over them. My husband and myself both in our 70s and Tony with asthma then spent 14 hours between us cleaning it to make it habitable. The dust on all skirtings and boarded doors thick, Bathrooms with previous guests hairs in, drawers with muck in. We could not do anything about the windows but sweep them off inside, the lawn to our garden had not seen a mower in many months and the cooker….a professional cleaner would be required to get it usable. So in all we will not be using Sykes again, I feel you have let us down. NEVER before we we arrived to give our home for the next 3 weeks a blitz. Even the hoover was throwing out more rubbish than it was picking up. The iron was broken, difficult when you are holidaying for 3 weeks. Junk left in and on wardrobe in back bedroom. I am sure you don’t want me to go on but I could easily.
