“Where do you start, horrendous I would say.”
On arriving at our destination we were unable to locate the property at first, this was due to the front being overgrown with weeds. We eventually noticed it but were unable to find where you parked, we noticed a lady in the garden of the cottage next door and enquired with her, she advised us where we parked and also where our bins were located and the garden that came with the property, its a good job she did as non of this information was in the cottage. As for a usable garden as advertised on this site, it was NOT usable it was overgrown with weeds, thistles and nettles, there was even a thistle growing by the side of the front door of the property standing as tall as me, I'm 5ft 1.
On entering the property the smell of damp hit you immediately, there was black mould growing up the walls, slug trails on the floor, we did even meet some slugs on a morning when we got up. The extractor hood was disgusting, the filter didn't look like it had ever been cleaned or changed.
The sofa was a cheap PU Leather one which was as hard as rock, it gave you a numb backside from sitting on it.
Every cottage we have stayed in as always greeted you on arrival with a welcome pack, such as tea, coffee, sugar and a pint of milk, not this one, there was teabags and sugar and what should have been coffee in canisters next to the kettle, the sugar was damp, as were the teabags and the coffee was all solidified and crusty, no milk though.
There is no great book for you to leave comments, I wonder why!
There were no cleaning products, they ask you to leave it clean but how when nothing is provided, all that was there was a small sponge with a green scouring pad on to wash up with and washing up liquid, there was no hoover or mop to clean with.
The shower room was not very inviting, the floor around the toilet was stained with god knows what and the extractor in the bathroom didn't look like it had ever been cleaned.
Overall this cottage is not fit for human habitation and needs reporting, sykes obviously don't vet the cottages they advertise enough
