0 as we arrived at 2.0 pm I was refused when we did get in you can park eight cars in the driveway. I am not booking Sykes again until you change this policy of arriving at 5.0 and leave by 9.0 which started after Covid! Other agencies have much better times!

The decor is well thought out and furniture is good quality with comfortable beds. The kitchen is well equipped with a good range of crockery etc. Some extra cutlery and some small sturdy wine glasses may be useful. The views from the terrace are stunning although the weather held us back from really enjoying the seating area. The hot tub was popular too. However the many instructions around the property are a little off putting.
