No instructions re starting heating. Next day googled it and followed on-line manufacturers instructions. 2. Tried to cook a quick fry-up on arrival and frying pan covered in thick black grease which was very difficult to shift. 3. En-suite bath hadnât been cleaned, thick soap scum all round. 4. Palmolive soap bottles left on bowls were practically empty. 5. âWelcomeâ pack of a scourer, dish cloth snd five dishwasher tablets is hardly welcoming. Given that renting for the week is hundreds of £s, would it break the bank to provide cleaning items. We stayed in Judges Lodgings a few years ago and had none of the above problems.

The house is cosy and superbly located, and the master bedroom is particularly excellent. In terms of negatives, it would be good if soap was provided, especially as there are three bathrooms. Also, access to and from the car park to the rear of the property is very tight.

Speedy response by Sykes but the entire property was 7 degrees and took a good 4 days to almost get up to temperature and that was only helped by the electric fire in the lounge. No heating in the kitchen and stone tiles don't mix....that's unless you follow the suggestion of carrying an oil heater down two flights of stairs! The doors did close properly so the draft throughout the house blew the doors open leading to a very disturbed and cold night. TV in lounge regularly goes out of signal. Unable to watch it all on two of the days. Not great on days when had the bad weather. I can't fault Sykes but Judges Lodge is not up to standard with some basic fixes needed.
