After booking and paying in full two weeks before our trip, I read the reviews to discover that the third bedroom has a toddler bunk bed. This was described in the small print, but I missed it. I contacted Sykes straight away to try to change the cottage. After several days of trying to get a response they told me via WhatsApp that I wouldn't be able to change the accommodation or get a refund. They were not interested. I then contacted the owner/caretaker number to discuss how they would be able to accommodate us. We had five adults in our group, and the property only has four suitable beds. Nobody bothered to contact me. We were stuck. My 18yr old had to sleep squashed into the toddler bunk, which dominated the very small room. She felt like she was sleeping in a cupboard. Upon arrival, there wasn't any welcome pack. There were dead ants all over the conservatory floor and on the dinning table. There was lots of long strands of head hair in the double bed (which was also the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept in) There were crumbs on the kitchen work surface. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work. The tv was described as a smart tv, we couldn't get any clear reception. I am very disappointed with Sykes who you can't get hold of, it seems that as soon as they have your money they don't care. The people they use to clean the cottage don't know what cleaning is. The only positive is that the pool and grounds were well kept and a bonus. I will not be returning or be using Sykes or any of there partners again.

House was clean. Host was responsive. Well stocked house. Photos of house were not accurate. On plus side new sofas and table were an improvement. However no working TV in twin bedroom. Also single bed in third bedroom had been replaced by a small bunk bed which filled the room. Not suitable for older children and definitely not an adult. Not sure why this was done as house does not have enough dining or sitting space for 6 people and made the 3rd bedroom such a squeeze. Double bed uncomfortable. House really uncomfortably hot at night even though it wasn't a hot week. Wifi terrible. Would recommend investing in a smart TV.
