In fact she could not have been more helpful. My issue is with Sykes itself. I had to change the date which the property owner said would be no problem. However to change the date with you took over 24 hours. Your system would not let me as the date was blocked off and all I got was messages back from you to do it online or through your app which was impossible. Eventually I managed to get a message through via a webchat. Had I been able to telephone you, we could have sorted it out in 2 minutes but you have made it impossible to contact you by phone. I also wrote a letter to your managing director and never had the courtesy of a reply. Quite frankly it makes me very reluctant to book through you again.

The lake fishing was good, in very pleasant surroundings.

The lodge is well-equipped as well as being handily located for the Forest of Dean. The views of the lake from the lodge are excellent - not overlooked at all. The hot tub is a delight.
