“Good accommodation, very clean and spacious and the kitchen was very well equipped.”
The downstairs rooms were quite cold when we arrived which was due to the fact that the thermostat for the kitchen area was set to 13C rather than the 18C stated in the manual, however it did achieve a more pleasant temperature by the Saturday morning once the room had reached the correct temperature. Prior to arriving, I contacted both Sykes cottages and the owner to enquire whether hair dryers were available at the cottage but didn’t get a response from either which was disappointing. We also found quite a few dog hairs on the sofas in the conservatory area and whilst we were aware that dogs are welcomed at the property I think it would be useful to ask renters not to allow their dogs onto the sofas. In general, the cottage was very comfortable, convenient for our Centre Parcs spa visit with lovely walks nearby. The local village pub and Millard cafe at Morland cafe are also excellent.
Dear Nicola, thank you for the positive feedback, although we are very sorry to hear about the sofa and the dog hairs. we pay extra for cleaning when dogs are staying at the property, so we are surprised, and will bring this up with the cleaning agency. WRT the hair dryer, we cant remember if we left a hair dryer or not, but unfortunately we never got your request, so couldn't respond. We are out of the country, so rely on Sykes to field such questions, and will bring this up with them.
regards, Ian
Property Owner
