Iâll start with the cleanliness, it was perfect, the cottage was beautiful and the hot tub was brilliant. So the day we were setting off and got our key codes we got an email informing us that they would have to come in and drain the hot tub on our last night so be out the hot tub at 9. I replied thereâs nothing on Sykes about this so I suggest you amend it as itâs not something Iâve ever come across and it may put people off, itâs really not fair. They agreed they would come in the morning of our departure instead of 9pm on the night before and would also amend this on Sykes. They came at 4am, woke us up emptying, cleaning and refilling the hot tub! Ridiculous and selfish. I asked why they would do this and she replied we said we would come in the morning instead of 9pm, but 4am! Really! Thatâs a joke. I never got an apology. I would like to recommend they get a hot water tap to refil it as thatâs what we did when we had one. Also the bbq was full of old coals when we arrived, luckily we didnât want one. The bed sheets did not fit to tuck under and the quilt was not big enough, super long but short width wise, you couldnât turn it as it was just a slit, no press studs or zip. I wonât mention the other problems but really think people need to know this part. We asked for a late check out which they said would be £50 for 2 hours but then said we could have an 11.30 check out free of charge because of their mistake on Sykes. They have got really good reviews and I would never have done this if I had got an apology for the hot tub. I have used Sykes for years now and never had to write a review like this. I would always point out any small negatives in an email to the owner but this could not be missed. It really spoilt our last night.

My favourite was looking at the stars in a very dark sky in the hot tub.
