The hazard tape on the indoor steps were really useful. My only negative take is the parking - the steps were horrendous, I couldn't see any lights so didn't use them at night - walking round to the car parking space was the best option for me. Generally, we all kept saying "wow this is really nice". The shower was fantastic, the location was perfect and generally fab. This is the first time I have booked with Sykes and I will look again in the future.

This is its main selling point and does override some of the issues we had . Sadly we were sold the property as having a bath and unloading outside the property during the May fair . Sadly this was not true and was an issue as my wife is late stage Alzheimerâs. We have taken the compensation offered . Other minor niggles . The bed is so tight to the walls in the double that you WILL stub your toe . Also a bit stingy with what was left . You will need to bring your own milk , salt , pepper, kitchen towel , anti bacterial wipes , and only 0.5 cm of washing up Liquid left , so we had to go shopping . Also no dustpan and brush so difficult to clean up . Still however , its position is fantastic ! Worth noting that you can NOT drive from the car park straight to the front as itâs no entry . You have to go back to the Portland road and double back .

Comfortable, clean, great location & reserved parking. BUT.... It was spoilt by being woken twice early hours (from 2:30/3am) when it rained due to broken guttering & the noise on the bedroom ceiling venting window (which also leaks). It sounded like someone had a hose at full bore on it. (You could hear from every room) I contacted Sykes on the Mon morning (messaged at about 3am - emailed). They rang me not long after they opened to apologise & said they'd contact the local maintenance guy. He rang me (pleasant chap) apologised & said they were aware of the issue (for a couple of months) & he was also trying to get the owner to replace the venting window. On the Fri during the day it poured down, good job we were back at the apartment as it was leaking so much we had to put a big bowl underneath otherwise it would have ruined the carpet or any of our belongings had anything been there. We stayed here a while ago before some of it was refurbished and really loved it. Would love to stay again, but not until this issue has been resolved - a holiday is supposed to be relaxing, we were lucky that for most of our stay we had good weather, but it certainly wouldn't be if you had lots of sleepless nights due to the noise & leak especially with the typical weather in the UK!
