“The parking spot is only accessible for a Fiat 500 or equivalent so we had to find alternative parking for our medium size Ford for the week at extra expense.”
Frankly, the standard of the let was appalling. Unlike every other holiday let we have been to there was no welcome folder, to explain what’s what with appliances, tv, cooker, shower etc. just random scraps on a pin board. The bathroom was really shabby with broken tiles and leaking shower screen (see review Oct 23). The kitchen area is clearly a throw back to the 60’s, the milk shelf fell out when we opened the fridge door and the utensils were an assorted muddle. This let is clearly a prime example of property is which the owner has shown no interest at all for many years and is best avoided if you want value for money. Remember, Sykes can only put right what the owner is prepared to pay for.
Thank you for your feedback, it is a little unfair to those who are looking forward to staying at Bakers Yard to describe it as appalling. The accommodation changed ownership in 2023 and since then has had more than £10,000 spent redecorating the whole property with new carpets laid throughout, new bedroom furniture, the heating system replaced and essential remedial work. This was carried out as part of a rolling refurbishment programme which continues throughout 2024.
Bakers Yard enjoys a loyal set of visitors who return year-after-year and while the whole property will soon be upgraded I feel sure they would not recognise your description of their much loved holiday home.
