What our customers say about their holidays

  We arrived for the 1500hr check-in to find the patio doors open and the owner still busy inside.

  The dishwasher and washing machine were partway through their cycle and the owner departed to purchase mould remover for the bathroom. He returned with wine, chocs and strawberries which was very kind of him. However, he left with the washing machine and dishwasher still going. We then noticed that the lounge and both bedroom doors had been damaged in what appeared to be a fight, with one bedroom door sealed shut. The lounge carpets were dirty with crumbs and hairs and all surfaces were very dusty. The kitchen floor and table were also dirty with dust, hairs and crumbs with greasy surfaces. There was a lack of cutlery, crockery and drinking vessels and the sink and taps were loose and unclean, with plates etc still on the drainage tray. It was so awful that I vacuumed the entire place myself and attempted to remove the grime from bedside tables and worktops. Despite this, our friends who arrived later noticed immediately how grubby the whole place was - very embarrassing for myself as I organised this break for everyone. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also filthy and strongly reeked of cigarette smoke, with aged pillows and mismatched bed linen in one of the rooms and a blocked toilet in the other. The smell when in bed was so bad that we left the next day. The 'double' beds were also 2 single mattresses held together by a double fitted sheet which came partially off in the night and the mattresses separated to leave an annoying gap. One of the beds had spiders in it which appeared when the duvet was turned back. I spent most of the night on the settee in the lounge. This 3 day stay cost us £939 and it was terrible - I don't know how it has a 3 star rating. The owner needs to get the entire place professionally deep-cleaned and dispose of all the pillows and probably mattresses, which we didn't dare look at. And properly stock the kitchen and clean and tidy all the drawers and cupboards. And sort the doors and fix the toilet. There was also a lack of smoke alarms.

  The property is in need of a refurbishment,(especially what they are charging for it) it is very dated and there is a lingering stale smell.

  It looked nothing like it did in the photos on your website! Despite this the general cleanliness and maintenance was very poor. The sofa bed was stained and extremely uncomfortable to sit/sleep on. There is carpet throught including the bathrooms which is not hygenic. There was black mold on the shower curtain which is unacceptable and a potential health issue for guests. The sink in the bathroom had a plug with a bit of wire attached to it? The second bathroom has a broken/dripping shower head. The bedding was old and didn't look as if it had been cleaned and the beds weren't made properly. The mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. There was an old pub style bench on the decking so nowhere to sit and relax. Although the park itself was lovely this was just not acceptable accommodation for us to holiday in so we left after one night.

  To many faults to list all ,damp overpowing smells maybe from mouldy bedroom wall shower tray and walls.

  The whole place needs refurbishment ,we have video and pic .Disappointed in Sykes as 12 months previously guest review nothing has been done . Even though they think refunding us for nights not stayed resolves this it can not alter our bad experience.what ever clever answer owners and Sykes come back with they know the truth. If you are going to Goodwood book with Park holidays the site is 4 star and staff 5 star they tried to help .Pauline Heath

  The host had very kindly left us a welcome pack of treats which was a lovely surprise.

  The lodge was roomy enough for the four of us and our two large dogs and while it is getting ready for a little TLC, it was comfortable and had everything we needed for the week, although a couple more mugs would be a good idea so we didn't need to wash up every time we had a cuppa :). It's easy to get to many places of interest in the surrounding areas and we had a fabulous meal at the The Walnut Tree pub nearby .

  The Goodwood Annex is set on a beautiful site however when we arrived, there was a dirty smell and stained sofa.

  Windows were dirty and one window the blind was broke. The shower head in one of the bathrooms was dripping non stop and in the other bathroom the shower curtain has mould. We were there for Christmas and I planned to cook the traditional dinner there.The oven was greasy and smelt. We had to clean everything before we moved in for our stay.The owners were next door so I probably wouldnt have booked if I had known.
