To be honest my bad for not reading the reviews, which isn't like me. However, a new year and season has started and nothing in the property has changed! The property requires a good scrub, glossing and emulsioning in every room, and we only used two of them. First floor double, still with the stained curtains, to sleep in, and the second floor double as a getting ready room due yo the brightness. The yard is still in a grimy state, the tiles and cooker in the kitchen in need of a clean along with the kitchen unit doors requiring attention as they have to be 'lifted' to go back in place. A washing machine but no washing line nor airer, no wifi and no heating as the fire in the lounge is disconnected and the boiler is in a locked cupboard! Front room curtains are shabby and don't hang properly and the bulb in the main light did not work. Settee was a recliner however we had to stop reclining on one side as it was so dirty underneath with a discarded lateral flow test! It did however have an indoor waterfall in the lounge!! Well when someone was taking a shower anyway. Therefore the shower tray has still not been addressed nearly a year later!! Mould in the shower. On a plus the bed linen and towels were clean. Sykes Cottages should be ashamed they are still renting this out in light none of the issues ftom last year have been addressed. Will be advising friends to steer clear of booking through them as clearly they do not have the properties checked to ensure they are up to scratch.

Walking distance from the marina and shops. The only slight niggle would be parking as the street gets filled quickly so unless youâre there very early you may have to park in the next street over, it is free parking however so thatâs not a problem.

Patio is not a patio it's a very small yard with old cigarette ends in and green slime up the walls. Patio furniture was filthy and child sized. Did not let the dogs anywhere near the yard. Keys were not in key safe, the front door was open and keys on inside of lock. Everything else in the house was fine. Just kitchen and yard.
