Looking at the listing, it seemed that the pub and river were nearby, but they were a fair walk away. The house itself is nice and roomy enough, the area is quiet and parking is a little tight. Iâd stay again.

The kitchen was in such a bad state that a cleaner came on Saturday afternoon to attempt to make it more usable. Fridge and Freezer were dirty. The fridge light didn't work and one of the shelves on the door was broken. There were vivid handprint marks on the cooker hood which weren't removed whilst we were there as the cleaner couldn't reach. Dirty handprints over most of the kitchen doors were unacceptable. The saucepans and frying pans were in a very bad state. The 2 drawers below the ovens were broken. The sieve was handleless and therefore unusable. The kitchen rubbish bin was broken and in pieces when we arrived. One of the baths had a sticky smear over its side and a similar mark on the bedroom mirror. One of the bedroom floors was gritty in places. The alarm panel fell off every time anyone brushed past it. The underfloor heating downstairs doesn't work. I complained and was provided with electric heaters on Sunday. The dishwasher didn't work. Another complaint made and it was replaced on Thursday. The base of 1 of the settees has collapsed. On the plus side - clean, comfy beds, plenty of hot water and the heating for the 2 floors upstairs was efficient. The house lacks care and attention and is in desperate need of maintenance. Our attempts to get sensible compensation through Sykes have failed and they will not provide details of the owner, through whom they say we should seek redress, until we take legal proceedings - outrageous.

We were disappointed to see how badly the property has been maintained since then. We could list at least 10 issues that could be easily fixed but the main ones were that the underfloor heating does not work in the whole of the ground floor. Plug in electric heaters were provided but we were not made aware of this before our visit. Also, there are 2 kitchen drawers that need urgent attention, there was flaked paintwork in most rooms, a large damp patch on the ceiling if the downstairs WC from a previous water leak, a handle missing from one lever tap. These are all mostly cosmetic issues but they have left the property looking tired and unloved. A deep clean of the kitchen is also required, especially under the wall cupboards. Despite this, the property was comfortable, the bedding was clean and there was plenty of hot water for 5 adults and 2 children.
