We were impressed by the excellent state of preparation of the property and the household team should be congratulated on its clean and tidy appearance. We had one minor maintenance problem which was rapidly rectified for us. We can thoroughly recommend this property and the service of both Sykes and the owners. In spite of increasing age-related mobility problems we hope to be back!
