Nigel
Bedding, mattresses and pillows with disgusting stains, bed with woodworm and dust, hair and cobwebs on the frame and floor. Curtains from the seventies. Lights not working, no lids for saucepans, freezing cold and damp on arrival and a hostess that wouldnât leave us alone on arrival for 15 mins. Large black tent right outside bedroom window? Also position misrepresented on Sykes website, which makes it appear like itâs right on the Broads waterway when itâs actually on a very busy main road thatâs pretty dangerous if you have a dog, with no direct acess to the waterfront
