What our customers say about their holidays
Frank - Verified booking
Good location, BUT: Front Bedroom: Animal hair on fitted sheets (we ended up buying our own sheet to go over them).
Mattresses very "crunchy" (need replacing) Downstairs bathroom: Slugs and woodlice! Significant water damage on walls. Though shower was actually quite good. Upstairs bathroom: Walls cracked, bath plughole full of hair/gunge. Window film held on with sellotape. Boiler cupboard door flapping. Living room: No TV reception. The coax connector needed repairing (which I did), so now there is reception. WiFi Router is an antique and uses WPA security (which is obsolete), and the security code for the WiFi REALLY needs to be something harder to guess. Dining room: Plastic tablecloth like you'd use outside (certainly not like that shown in the photos). Two screws missing from one of the chairs, so the seat/back not adequately attached to the legs. Kitchen: Most of the pans seem to have been incinerated. We ended up buying our own frying pan) The cooker is not level so the hot oven door closed on my arm while trying to put a tray in. No wire rack for the grill pan. Some of the current furniture doesn't match the property photos. Feels like this property has been fitted with odds and ends left from other properties. Some light bulbs didn't work, and some were horribly harsh bright white. Needs some general maintenance (I'd start with filling the 40mm hole in the downstairs bathroom exterior wall...probably how water, slugs and woodlice are getting in!) Having stayed at other Sykes cottages around the country, this DEFINITELY does not rate four ticks.

63 northgate street-the property needs a really good clean, floors in the bathrooms the cooker and the baking trays we soaked all afternoon so they were fit for use.
along with the cruset pans,the windows inside and out also dirty and the towels are like cardboard. sheets not ironed.floors matts, 3 in all with big marks on them.the lounge furniture underneath the cushions was dirty and had not been cleaned since the last rental. the garden bins, behind all the bins and pathway needs a good sweep and washdown, and an open drain uck, plenty of chipped mugs and crockery, which should not be used as thats how germs spread.all crockery needs updating, and normal size wine glasses.and underneath the 2 single beds there was plastic from some clothing plus plenty of fluff.the area was good for shopping and culture, but shame about the cottage, it needs updating in all department. and how were 4 people meant to use the lounge area when there is only comfortable seating for 3 !!!. i await a reasonable response to my comments.

A comfortable cottage with plenty of useful items; lots of towels, extra bed linen etc.
Milk & tea / coffee was helpful. Good instruction for key safe and parking. The only real negative was that the cottage was very cold! No sign of the thermostat and NO heating from the radiators. The hot water was also luke warm, making showering horrid. We ended up using the electric fan heater in the lounge - which was probably VERY expensive to run. It would have been more economical for the radiators to come on twice a day for an hour! That said, it was a lovely stay; nice area, handy for the town and near the park.

Brilliant, warm and cosy cottage that was perfect for a weeks staycation.
Had all the amenities weâd need and more, even offering the use of bikes in the garage and a welcome pack of tea, coffee and milk. Lovely decoration, was like a home from home and great location for the town centre. Could not recommend it highly enough! The only consideration is very steep stairs which may be a challenge for the less sure footed but fine for most.

Mr - Verified booking
The cottage was as described online.
The accommodation was comfortable and we had easy access to the town centre for shopping, cinema, arts and also bus and rail transport. The street was very quiet both by day and night. The information about the up keep of house was clear and easy to find and it was nice that there were a range of leaflets about tourist events. Finding the keys was no problem.
