    Firstly, no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk to make a hot drink on arrival. Secondly, the heating instructions were straight forward, except they did not work as given. I found the boiler, one I was familiar with, the heat settings were so low that at this time of year would have been useless. I reset everything and the the instructions were able to work. So went to make a hot drink and found that the kettle was leaking onto the base - not safe! Use a saucepan initially. Still decided to unpack, in the master bedroom there is shown 3 wardrobes / storage areas which all had locks. Only one was open for us to use, inside was an ironing board and extra bedding which meant at a push only one person could use it - not happy. I contacted the owner to advise of the kettle issue, owner eventually allowed us to purchase a new one on her behalf as there was no way she could replace it until after Christmas. I also enquired about the wardrobes, to be told that the others were full with laundry and cleaning products - there is no mention of this in your information. Then I was told that there was additional space in the other room that we should use. This was occupied by a female and would not have been a satisfactory arrangement. So once all these issues became apparent it coloured our view of the property so that all little irritants became even more noticeable including the condensation on the windows, which spoiled the outlook and had been mentioned by others. We had checked the visitors book, and most people appeared to be happy, but there was one entry that was critical, which is OK, but wrote PTO and the end of some comments - I did - only to find that a page appeared to have been removed? The area as always was fine and in general we enjoyed our activities, we also passed on an issue caused by the storm which swept through the are Wed/Thur and advised she got her property maintenance people to check it out as water gained access to the roof. Basically, the property needs TLC to get it up to standard, but I will not be considering it for further use. It has also coloured my view of using Sykes in the future, we'll have to see as I have not had this type of experience before.

    A new TV would be a good idea
