The neighbours are friendly and quiet. A very charming and peaceful place to stay. The only issues we had was there were lots of spider in the property upon I arrival that we had to remove and the bathroom lock was broken.

Obviously was not checked before we arrived. Toilet did not flush properly stains in the toilet cobwebs everywhere while I am aware that you cannot help spiders these were old black cobwebs, not what you expect, if it was cleaned prior to us arriving there was milk, scones and cream left which is very nice but really Iâd rather have had it in clean I will not be booking with sykescottages again as this is not the first time, one of their, letâs has not been acceptable and they did nothing to correct this complaint in 2020 about property in Wales, and it was still being advertised in the same state we were offered no compensation or discount, and I know it will be the same this time

Couple of issues though. Floors weren't very clean at all. Dead insects everywhere amd debris on the floor. Whilst I'm aware that I booked very last minute the floors just hadn't been cleaned properly at all from the previous let. I bought some floor wipes and no matter how much I cleaned the floor it was still quite dirty. Grass was very very long. You get quite a bit of noise from the adjoining house. Its sounds like their washing machine is in the property. Lots of general noise and banging from next door which isn't their fault they live there but the sound proofing just isn't there. Double bed desperately needs replacing. Mattress is knackered and bed is very creaky. The owner was very kind when I met her though. Neighbours are lovely.
