  We had a great stay at the old laundry, one of 3 cottages in this small complex that we visit regularly.

  However, upon arrival the cottage was not as clean as I would expect in this day and age. Clearly the previous guests had a dog ( and would have been charged extra, usually £30 for what the holiday letting company call extra cleaning !!! ) the sofa, cushions and rug were full of dog hair, the glass on the front door full of dirty muddy marks. We also found a pair of walking socks behind the radiator covered in dog hairs/cobwebs. If you looked up every corner of the cottage had a spider residing in it. The place just did not feel clean. The 1st bedroom had 1 toilet roll and the second had just 8 sheets left on an old roll it also had no hand-wash, no kitchen towel and once the kitchen bin was full we had to go and buy more bin liners because there were none in the cottage. If this was a cheap holiday cottage then I may expect to have to ruff it a bit but this was almost £1,500 originally and we booked it when it was reduced, but we still paid £1,000 for the week. Am I expecting too much? Would I stay there again, probably but only if the other 2 cottages were booked up. Somewhat disappointed.

  The accomodation was as described, is in a lovely location with many walks and local attractions nearby, is very good for dogs and we would recommend it to others.

  We had one problem when we arrived in the cottage as the fridge broke on the first evening and coolant leaked all over the food & drink inside, much of which we had to dispose of in case it was contaminated. The kitchen floor was also covered in water as the fridge started to defrost. The coolant smelled terrible and lingered for several days, especially on the outside of packaging of any unopened food & drinks which were in the fridge at the time. We did clean the fridge and the kitchen floor, but the smell remained for a long time. This was reported the next morning to Graythwaite via their website and they responded very quickly, taking away the damaged fridge and installing a replacement.

  The apartments was exactly as described on the homepage and the scenery is very beautiful.

  Due to Covid-19 we were asked to check in after 4 pm to allow for extensive cleaning. Unfortunately, we found the apartment not cleaned at all when we arrived at 6 pm (old bed linen on the bed, dirty and wet towels in the bath room etc). Re-arrangements were made for us (after we found a spot with mobile signal) but it took some time and the first evening ended with us going tired & early to bed while the next morning started early to move our luggage to the previous apartment. These things can happen but under Covid-19 they shouldn't, particularly when check-in and check-out times have been changed to meet the new situation. The rest of our holidays was great though

  The showers.

  .. The shower room adjoining the bedroom behind the kitchen, clearly the extractor fan had not worked for some time and I complained about the smell and later found 5 full moisture traps hidden under the bed and on top of the wardrobe. More hidden moisture traps and air fresheners in the second bedroom, the adjoining shower had extremely slow drainage and water pooled very fast. We had to stop the water to let it drain during use. The kitchen counter only seats 3 as the 4 stool doesn't actually fit under anything. Kitchen cupboards used as decorative display spaces so I couldn't just unpack shopping.

  Lovely stay in this little apartment, had everything you need even down to dog towels and bowls.

  Only negative was check in time and out !! 4pm to check in in my opinion is far too late to get settled then go out as it’s getting dark at this time of year.also leaving at 9am is absolutely ridiculous as need to be up at the crack of dawn to be organised, this has only been since covid and as covid is not a valid reason anymore I do not understand how this is still supposedly a valid reason. 9 am checkout would stop us using Sykes again for this reason alone. Apart from this small issue had a wonderful stay in this immaculate apartment well equipped apartment.
