“Very disappointed.”
Filthy veranda and badly stained deck chair with another chair broken. A Jacuzzi with a scum line and grimy so we didn't use it. Two stains on the settee. Rusty radiators which left brown marks on the towels. A kitchen sink that leaked into the cupboard below which soaked our belongings in there. The shower leaked onto the bathroom floor too. I can send pictures if you want them. I appreciate there is nothing the owner can do about the pine needles that were in the jacuzzi, in our food, in our feet etc etc but with a two year old with us it was not ideal at all, we spent most of the holiday sweeping and hoovering.
Thank you for your feedback.
It is a shame that you didn't contact myself or Sykes during your stay, as I would have been keen to assist rectifying the issues you have now reported.
I will ensure that your comments are passed to my cleaning team so that they are aware of your feedback.
