The owner was easy to deal with. Unfortunately we found the Sykes' service wanting - despite notifying them immediately that we had to adjust our dates, it took most of a week to get it sorted and then they had the gall to charge another £126 admin fee. I'd expect some kind of fee but felt this to be excessive in the extreme and I wouldn't be in a hurry to use Sykes again.

The cleanliness could be better and the kitchen utensils, pots and pans are a mish mash of oddments thrown together. No sharp knifes, tin opener doesn't work all glasses and dishes are oddments. Unfortunately the kitchen sink was blocked on arrival, we reported it to the owner and he responded quickly and fixed it within twenty four hours. The shower heads need descaling they only spray from half the head. No clean linen for beds were provided even though we were there for two weeks. Only two tea towels provided so struggled to dry pots, the dishwasher was out of use and the dustbins were full on arrival. Has I said earlier the Admiral is a lovely house but unfortunately it appeared poorly equipped and maintained. On a brighter note the people of coleraine were lovely and made us very welcome has did everyone we met on our holiday to Northern Ireland.

Ireland. Our host welcomed us and showed us around the well apportioned and equipped house. There were 7 of us staying but there is room for 9 (depending on the makeup of the group).
