The cooking equipment needs some attention not much of it and a bit old . Itâs a shame the garden isnât secure for the dogs to have a safe ponder around considering it is a dog friendly holiday home perhaps fitting another gate would be good ? Apart from these minor things we all enjoyed our stay and the weather was very kind to us. The views are amazing lovely patio to sit out on to watch the sun set.

after that I received email from sykes saying I left cup and rubbish all over the place and they took couple pictures which I believe it wasnât there . I cleaned the kitchen, sitting rooms and everywhere properly. They talk nonsense, we had only moved the beds only forgot to put that in the same position. They charged me £200 for moving the beds??? This is bullshit service, how can they expect to leave the place like unused. How they expect us to stay there, and when leaving we should clean like not be used . Its toke one hours clean all over now they send me another £200 bill for cleaning and charged me for it which is shocking. Apparently they send me an email letting me know that they will have access to my bank account and they will charge me and they did which I believe itâs not right

Village had a fabulous shop with everything you needed for your stay. To improve our stay the kitchen needed to be cleaner and we were unable to get the main oven to work so had limited cooking facilities.
