  The cottage is in a lovely location, and it was nice to find milk in the fridge and flowers & cake on the table.

  However, the house was dusty and grubby, the kitchen especially, with crumbs on the worktop and grease in the grill pan. I felt I needed to wash all utensils and pans before use. The sitting room is shabby, with inadequate lighting so impossible to read in the evening. The shower chair (which wasn't there on arrival as promised but was swiftly brought round) had tyres that were rotting and crumbling off in large chunks. The bedrooms were OK, though we noticed bare wiring in one of the ceiling lights. This was fixed promptly. The accessible bedroom, on the ground floor, smelt damp, and the drawers had a strange smell, as if they had not been aired for ages. The loo seat in the bathroom we used was cracked in two places, making it quite uncomfortable to sit on. The garden is overgrown, and the ramp & steps down to the overlong grass quite restricted by plants. Gutters were broken, and the lift at the front of the property has clearly not been working for many years. The shaving light in the accessible bathroom flashed on and off, so was effectively unusable. The instructions were out of date, and user manuals were either non-existent or hiding on the top of the kitchen units. When we arrived, there was one small hand towel for each of us, and we had to ferret around to find bath towels, which we eventually did behind the sofa, slightly damp. Sadly, the whole place felt uncared for and very poorly maintained.

  Filthy unloved property.

  Most of the furniture is not fit for purpose, it is old, well worn and smelly. The kitchen is especially dirty with thick grime around the fridge. A curtain hanging from the sink unit hides further dirt. Cutlery drawer dirty. Sticky kitchen floor. The hearth carpet infront of the fire has curled up edges - a dangerous trip hazard. 3 settees, all smell and all are uncomfortable. The matching cushions need binning, disgusting. The area in front of the property is concreted and worn. The owner hadn't bothered to cut the grass area for us. The 4 poster bed is just that, a bed with 4 posts, no curtains. Carpets throughout are very worn and stained in some areas. Bed linen was clean but very old and worn. Plastic toilet seat so worn that the plastic bits it sits on are protruding through the seat. The disabled room on the ground floor has a curtain in the doorway- next to an external door. I've holidayed in cottages for many, many years and by far, this property is the dirtiest, most uncared for property that I have ever rented. I think the owners must be laughing at renters as they obviously don't care about the service user. I didn't speak directly to the owner. My 92 year old dad was with us and said he didn't want to cause a fuss.

  Sadly this holiday cottage did not live up to our expectations to the extent that we came home a day early.

  The size and the location of the property was what we wanted so no complaints there. We expected an old house and possibly old furniture, however, the whole place inside needs a complete deep clean and de-clutter. The place is dingy and smells damp. The beds have seen better days and the pillows, quilts and bed linen need to be replaced as they are old and marked. An old curtain is used as the door to the downstairs bedroom. We couldn't use the jacuzzi as the mouldy smell in the bathroom was too bad. The garden cannot be used for children to play in as there is an old dilapidated slide and a lot of rubble lying around. The BBQ and patio area are not usable. We took photos of the worst areas but they don't portray our unhappiness and disappointment. This is an unloved, neglected house not a holiday home. We are so disappointed that we rented a property that is so neglected and we feel that we have been ripped off. This house is not worth over £600 for 3 nights (we stayed 2) and ideally we would like our money back.

  A perfect house that all my family loved.

  We had plenty of space without using all the bedrooms and had the luxury of a bathroom per couple. The house was so well equipped, and the kitchen had everything you may need to make any meal of your choice. The living space comfortably fit our party of 6 adults and our 2 year old grandson and he was also well catered for. The cleaners were lovely and helped us with a few recommendations of nearby places. Due to the time of year the village wasn’t fully open but there were plenty of places to eat and drink and the local coffee shops were great. The location is perfect for getting out and about; you can get to busy little towns in 30 minutes by car and if you fancy a walk to the waterfall or a climb up the hills and mountains then this is your place. Couldn’t fault it. We’ll be back

  The property was as listed however it did not feel very welcoming and the overall standard of cleaning was not as high as we would expect.

  The inner fridge compartments had been left in the bath I assume to defrost/dry and there was bedding left to dry on the radiators. The beds were comfy and clean but the bathrooms were not as clean as we would normally expect. The floors and carpets also had obvious fluff and hair on. There was not enough wood supplied for the first day as was expected. The oven was spotless but the kitchen cupboards fronts were sticky and the insides of the cupboards and drawers were not very clean. There was no "welcome hospitality" and although we understood this is at the owner's discretion taken in the context of everything else above it added to the overall impression. We did have enjoy our break and would probably use Sykes again but would not recommend this property.
