Apparently the cleaners should have ensures it was ready. It took a couple of hours to get it going after phone calls between us, Sykes and the owner. There was no info pack at the house which would have helped. The shower was very small and didnât frown very well. The garage light did not work. The house was lovely- styled very well and easy access to the village.
