Decoration and cleanliness were amazing. The only thing I would suggest would be an improvement with the beds as they were a little small with bouncy mattresses. Also, knowing we could get a parking permit at booking would have been helpful. We did get one, but after we had booked parking elsewhere and then had to cancel. Otherwise we all had a lovely few days here and would definitely return. Thank you.

We had rented the house for my wife's 60th birthday, so that all the family could be together for the weekend. There was no 'fighting' over the bedrooms as all were of a good size. The top floor has two bedrooms with a slightly compact shower room, but all good, The middle floors bedrooms have a better sized shower room with a great shower down a flight and a half set of stairs. Two cosy sitting rooms on the ground floor, however we spent most of the time in the well equipped kitchen / dining room in the basement. Great communication beforehand and on the day of arrival from both Sykes and the property owner.

There really is absolutely no parking though, recommend Charlotte street car park for long term stay.
