However the boiler on 3 occasions didnât produce hot water and it hasnât been serviced this year according to records on the boiler which is not good - the curtains In the main bedroom didnât stop any light, the exit sign in the main bedroom was like Blackpool eliminations difficult to sleep -bed very soft and uncomfortable as we both rolled in to the middle. It a shame as itâs a great little place but a little tweet here and there needed.

There was little option on properties in the area we wanted, but Sykesâs managed to find the Lobster Pot for us. Lovely and cosy. Perfect for the three of us. Great location. Only problem was the water boiler which sometimes didnât work, but the owner was in the process of having it replaced.

Close to a number of good eateries. The hosts could not have done more to help and this was very much appreciated. It was a lovely stay. I do have issue with Sykes, I tried contacting them on numerous occasions before going, called on the phone was put on hold several times requested a call back twice and gave up both times after being called then put on hold. As with a number of other clients discovered my booking was not linked with the app. Fortunately I found the owners own web site with my query being addressed promptly. I would not use Sykes again.
