We asked the lady in the property if we could go inside as we needed the Wi-Fi for work. She called her âmanagerâ who stated we could go inside if we paid £20 to a link. We chose to sit in the car. Secondly, place wasnât very clean. Food remnants down the cushions of the âsofaâ which tips forward when you sit on it, a tv that isnât watchable due to where itâs situated, and a fridge thatâs both marked and damaged and the freezer obviously hasnât been defrosted in years - we couldnât actually put anything in it without it falling out. Next, misleading information - â1 mile to the nearest pubâ. Itâs not. Itâs 1.75-2 miles and the road doesnât have a pavement and is unlit. And as for âput the lid back on the hot tub correctly or weâll fine you £50â - what on earth are you thinking?! First time using Sykes cottages and this property and will be the last. We came home 2 days early (which we notice hasnât been acknowledged) as we were completely fed up. Either represent the property and area correctly or donât do it at all. Such a shame as Wales is beautiful but when you learn you could have stayed in a two level property right in the centre of Rhayader for £10 less PER NIGHT, it doesnât help. Wonât be back. And anyone who asks about Sykes cottages, wonât be getting a recommendation from us. You ruined our holiday. Thanks.
