Rear garden was secure for the dog. Views from the front bedroom of the sea and castle were lovely. Conservatory was too cold, even with the heater on or doors left open from the kitchen, and overlooked by neighbouring properties. The double doors to the conservatory have a broken hinge, making it difficult to close. The kitchen has only two rings on the hob, so a little inadequate to cook larger meals. The living room chairs are very uncomfortable. The provision of a TV is a good idea, if it works. Maybe a DVD player would cover for the times of no TV signal. Even better would be some type of service for the TV to carry TV channels. The electrical plug sockets are concerning as they are loose. The decoration and general maintenance need a lot of attention, the paper on the walls is bubbling and the walls damp to the touch. The door between the living room and kitchen are pointless, it has a huge gap, so doesn't close. The door from the kitchen to the hallway also doesn't close, so there is no way of keeping your dog out of the front room at night. The downstairs toilet flushes when it feels like it and the room is very damp, with paint falling off. Going upstairs, the paintwork needs looking at, as paint has fallen off the ceiling. The upstairs front bedroom has damp in the furthest corner from the windows/door. Again, needs a lot of work on the decoration. The rear bedroom has multiple areas of damage to the walls. Again, need attention to the paintwork at least. The bathroom is a great size, with a decent shower. However, the toilet is difficult to flush (to say the least), and very loud when it does. The finishing of the paintwork needs looking at. The mirror on the wall is loose. There are no shelves/storage and no toilet roll holder. In general, what could be a great cottage has been let down by lack of care and attention to its maintenance. Yes, we had an explanation of there was a problem with the external wall, but this doesn't explain the internal walls and ceilings (with no connection to the outside wall) being damp. In general, sadly, this cottage has not been to the standard as expected when booking through Sykes.

Beds are comfortable and the facilities are adequate, some parts of the cottage could do with a little neatening up and a little maintenance. But it was perfectly suitable for our short break
