The property is lauded for its comfortable beds and spaciousness, providing ample room for guests. Some guests mentioned the quilts being too thick for summer and a desire for more comfortable chairs, slightly affecting the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample space. However, points were deducted for reported maintenance issues such as a leaky kettle, dripping tap, and the absence of a washing line. The Wi-Fi quality was also a concern for some guests.

Light bulbs need to be replaced. Light in the fridge didn't work, carpet very dirty covered in long black hairs, Mix up with the cleaning crew. Walked in to find my bed had been slept in, dirty towels in the bathtub, bins full, windowsils covered in a wet mold, pee in the loo. Downstairs toilet fills very slowly. Takes almost 20 minutes to refill. In a house fitted for 8 people that can cause a problem. After a phone call the cleaner came in to clean the downstairsbathroom. I stripped and made my own bed. We cleaned out the kitchen ourselves before the cleaner came. It is a wonderful house which needs a deepclean. Maybe if you book it early in the season tou'll find it in pristene condition.

It was rated outstanding which was very misleading. There didn't appear to be a washing line only a rusty clothes airer in the garage. There was nowhere to hang wet coats. I couldn't find a teapot. The shower head in the upstairs bathroom was held on with electrical tape. The was peeling wallpaper in the lounge. It's been a while since the skirting boards or under the twin beds were given a good clean. Having said that the beds were comfortable and it is a very spacious house. I feel slightly cheated by the ratings. I've been a customer of Sykes for decades now and feel that this is one of the less well equipped places we have stayed.

Last year I raised the issue of the door handle on the shower room coming off on the inside and one of our party almost getting locked in. Disappointed that the problem had not been resolved. Apart from that the usual niggles that the pillows were hard and flat, the bottom sheet on the bed downstairs was too small to fit under. Also one of our party is allergic to feathers, so it would have been useful to have been warned that the duvet was feather and down. The week before our holiday I phoned the owner and asked about an iron and clothes dryer. I was told that there was an iron, but couldnât find it and the washing machine in the kitchen was also a dryer, it isnât. There is a tumble dryer in the garage but did not look very clean or in good condition. Besides that our holiday was good.
