    “Mylnebeck is a very good, very well presented, comfortable, spacious, warm and well equipped property (just wish I had know there were 3 floors and so many stairs as the kitchen is down a flight and the main bedrooms up a very tall staircase.”

    If you have mobility issues think twice). Our problems were with Sykes abysmal communications before and during our stay. I wanted to know if the place was decorated for Christmas (it wasn’t) and it took many attempts and far too long to get an answer.

    If you have mobility issues think twice). Our problems were with Sykes abysmal communications before and during our stay. I wanted to know if the place was decorated for Christmas (it wasn’t) and it took many attempts and far too long to get an answer. You are directed to communicate via ‘the digital experience team’ on the Sykes app. What a joke. This company do not want to engage with their guests like the former Lakelovers did. Although there is still a Lakelovers office in Windermere, there is no way to contact them by phone and talk to a real person. The door to the utility room appeared to be locked and I tried to find out if there was a key somewhere - no answer all week from Sykes. It turned out to be stuck. No complementary logs for the log burner were supplied although we had been told all heating and fuel were supplied. The TV in the lounge didn’t work - too late we realised the batteries were dead in the main remote, so we missed out on the Christmas specials. No spares supplied and by this time we had given up trying to ask for help. The recycling had not been collected - there was an enormous number of bottles outside the back door and the whole area was filthy with the mess from the builders next door. The expelair in the ground floor ensuite was horrendously noisy and carried on for ages. This needs updating to a quiet one or guests will just turn it off to get some peace. We have holiday lets ourselves and the housekeepers should be reporting these issues to the owners/Sykes to be dealt with. We feel very blessed with our own holiday agents by comparison, they are local, happy to help by phone and in person and go out of their way to make our guests feel appreciated. Overall we feel that a very good property in an excellent location is being let down through the lack of communication and care by the management company. I will never book with Sykes again.
