The location was brilliant , being close to all the main amenities in the village. Parking was simple and the location was surprisingly quiet. The bed in the back bedroom was a little lacking in support, and the sofa was a bit harder than we were used to, but this was probably due to us being in our seventies and having creaky joints!. The only thing that I would have found really helpful would have been a guest handbook, with instructions on the appliances in the house. It took us a while to get the hot water running (the switch was in the bathroom cupboard, and to work out the electric heaters. The house was cold when we arrived, being late October and stormy weather, and it generally felt quite damp on arrival. However this was resolved once we worked out how things worked and warmed the house up. The code for the wifi we found in a plant pot by the TV, after we had accessed it from the base of the router. To have that sort of info in a central place would have made settling in so much smoother. On leaving, I noticed a very small patch of black mould developing on the skirting board by the window in the front room that could be dealt with before it becomes worse during the winter months. Other than that, the house was very clean, perfect for our needs and we enjoyed our stay.

Ideally placed for exploring the area. However, it would benefit from a comfortable settee (was a hard sofa bed); there was not enough seating for a family, a review of the downstairs heating and perhaps carpets/rugs upstairs in the bedroom and landing. Maybe a welcome pack with heating and tv etc., instructions would be useful. We were impressed with the general cleanliness.

I have to agree with some of the previous comments about this property. The pictures on Sykes website look fresh and modern but the reality is quite different. The upgrade has been achieved on the cheap through shoddy workmanship. The leak from the bathroom into the kitchen mentioned in a previous review has left a large mark on the kitchen ceiling which now has mould growing on it. The front door would not lock from the inside or out all the time we were there. These are basic requirements that should be sorted before a property is fit to let. The owner never answered any of our calls and Sykes did very little to rectify the situation, failing to call us back when promised, which only served to prolong our frustration when we should have been enjoying our holiday. I would avoid using this holiday cottage like the plague and Sykes will get no further bookings from me in the future.
