Smelled of damp, fridge full of water and mold, wallpaper coming off the wall, dusty and feisty smelling bedding nd towels. I think Sykes should check properties before advertising on their website. The whole experience was a let down and its me who's out of pocket.

While we were there the old floor covering in the kitchen and bathroom was replaced and looks very nice. The towels were brand new which we appreciated. We hade everything we needed for a great stay. Location of the chalet is good as there is an large area of lawn in front of the chalet which made it quieter as it wasn't surrounded by other chalets. We would definitely book again.
