Good base to explore Yorkshire. We visited Harrogate, Fountains Abbey and Leeds are only 50 mins away. The driveway needs some attention.

Ridiculous shower with poor waterflow and luke warm. Shwer tray VERY slippery and request made to owner for rubber mat but not supplied or interested in potential danger. No bother to even replace battery in the only clock ! Hairline crack noted on headband of main bedroom when we arrived which opened up when sat against. All together a lower standard than expected.

You needed a 4x4 to travel up the drive my car bottomed out several times with the potholes. Outside lights not working couldnât see a thing, slippery decking slope couldnât see key safe ridiculous. First initial impressions when entering were very positive, nice space and well laid out.and a welcome food pack Then⦠handle on the kitchen cupboard fell off, I noticed the floor kick board was kicked in. So the en-suite bathroom, the toilet was dirty,, I mean black stains and residue on the toilet seat, there was mould all over shower tray, water would not drain and after inspection found full of hair, shower glass filthy, shower extractor fan seemed poor under inspection clogged with dust. Main bathroom, the bath panel was kicked in, skirting rotted with damp, chrome filthy. Bedroom 3 with two singles, we used a cot, but both beds had broken slats so fell through when sat on them to dress the baby. I have phots of all this. Asked owner for assistance with outside lighting as it was dangerous his comment still on my phone was, âwe had the opposite our lights on all nightâ,not what I wanted to hear. He came round and asked if all good with the property, it was New Yearâs Eve and rather than cause a scene as I was so angry and upset and not in the best of moods and my partner didnât want me to have a confrontation with him so I said all Ok, I wish I had shown him round Iâm sure he would not have believed his eyes. Contacted Sykes sent them the photos, thought there might be compensation, a written apology. What a jokeâ¦â¦â¦ i
