Were let down by instructions to pick up key. Found the office which was closed, got soaking wet waiting in the rain and finally phoned Lakeland Lovers at 4pm and told where to find keys. Not a pleasant experience for an 80 year old couple. Could have been given clearer instructions where to find the one parking space and also that there was rear access to the flat. We have had good experience booking with Sykes but this was letdown.
