    “Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Our Stay at Belmont House (The Wine Loft) Dear Sykes Holiday Cottages, I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with our recent stay at Belmont House (The Wine Loft).”

    While we initially chose this property for its prime location and promising description, our experience was profoundly disappointing and has left a lasting negative impression on our family. From the moment we arrived, we were faced with a series of unacceptable issues that severely impacted our stay: 1. **Unhygienic Conditions**: Upon entering the lounge, we were horrified to find what appeared to be an unused tampon left behind.

    While we initially chose this property for its prime location and promising description, our experience was profoundly disappointing and has left a lasting negative impression on our family. From the moment we arrived, we were faced with a series of unacceptable issues that severely impacted our stay: 1. **Unhygienic Conditions**: Upon entering the lounge, we were horrified to find what appeared to be an unused tampon left behind. This was an appalling first impression and set the tone for the rest of our stay. 2. **Dishwasher Negligence**: The dishwasher was filled with washed but unemptied utensils, which added to the sense of neglect within the property. 3. **Non-Functional Shower**: The water pressure in the shower was virtually non-existent, rendering it impossible for any of us to bathe for the entire duration of our stay—a truly unacceptable situation. 4. **Visible Dust and Cobwebs**: The property was clearly not cleaned to an adequate standard. Dust and cobwebs were visibly present on the ceilings and walls, detracting from the comfort and hygiene of the space. 5. **Broken Blind in the Second Bedroom**: The broken skylight blind in the second bedroom meant that our children were unable to sleep properly due to the overwhelming brightness at sunrise and sunset. This was entirely out of our control and a direct result of poor property maintenance. Beyond the physical issues, the lack of communication and support compounded our frustrations. Attempts to contact the property owner went unanswered, and we were unable to reach anyone at Sykes Holiday Cottages for assistance. This left us feeling helpless and abandoned during our stay. The mental strain and disappointment this experience caused my family are difficult to put into words. What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway turned into a stressful ordeal. Despite the location being ideal, the numerous shortcomings and lack of accountability have left us with a bitter aftertaste. Given the severity of these issues, I am formally requesting appropriate compensation to address the impact this stay has had on us. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and respond promptly with a resolution. Should I not hear back within a reasonable timeframe, I will not hesitate to escalate my concerns further, including sharing my detailed experience on platforms such as Trustpilot. I look forward to your immediate response. Sincerely,

    - Delgertuya, April 2025

    Sykes Cottages will be contacting you in the next few days concerning your unfortunate experience and to talk to you regarding appropriate compensation. Property Owner
