Unfortunately we asked Sykes if we could be relocated & nothing came of itâ¦It may be dog friendly but NOT dog secureâ¦couldnât sit out & just leave the dog outside. Cleaning issues re: dirty rim toilet, oven door, cobwebs, bathroom taps need attention, bedding thin (no extra blankets) No welcome packâ¦Just not enjoyable & expected more!!

Bunk beds make second room very limited for getting in and out of bed with mobility issues also limits space for getting dressed. Two single beds would be much better. Second room more suitable for children, not adults.
