Obviously their standards aren't very high. We weren't going to write a review but on reading review's since nothing has improved. main bedroom:Dirty tissues.cotton wool,and other things left in draws cupboards and under the bed. smelly wardrobe,broken tap in bathroom. Main bathroom: Hot water tap not working,shower smelt of urine,fumes coming back in the vent from boiler this could cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Kitchen: Cobwebs,food in dirty cupboards, chipped and cracked crockery and cooking utensils,toaster full of crumbs,kettle full of water,no proper bin,nothing matching,cobwebs in glasses,had to wash what we needed to use. Sitting room: Broken blinds,no internet box just the lead,smelt of dogs and dogs hair all over carpet,ripped curtain,dirt under cushions on sofas. Outside: Slippery entrance, uneven slabs that send water up your legs when you walk on them, no dust bin or recycling bins. Badly sign posted we ended up on a farm a few miles away where a lovely lady gave us directions. This could be a much better place in different hands.Needs a good deep clean and D.I.Y done. There is no attention to detail which is needed.

Lodge not what is advertised on Sykes, contacted owner who blamed Sykes, surely if itâs your property you would check details are correct? dirty and smells damp. Left two days before check out. Food left in cupboard, washing up on draining boar, water in kettle. Sink doesnât retain water. Hot water tap in shower room faulty. Cobwebs.Jets in hot tub broken. No enclosed garden as advertised which is why we booked.have photos if needed.
