  In need of a deep clean through out .

  I did spend three hours making the house habitable using the un opened array of cleaning products under the sink. We brought the lack of cleanliness to the 'owner 'Jaimie s attention after being at the property for less than half an hour ,who apologised profusely he explained he d had a family crisis and had not been able to do a thorough clean , we both felt sorry for him after he had explained the family crisis to us . He offered to pay for a meal or a free weekend stay , If we did not leave . We felt he needed a break so agreed to stay . He agreed the state of the cottage was unacceptable and it needed a deep clean . I got up at six the next morning and did a deep clean which took three hours. The water in the mop bucket was BLACK that was two buckets , both BLACK water full of grit and black dog hair. But it smelt much fresher. The television was not working on the Sunday , my husband asked Jaimie to come round, he only lives next door, when he knelt down to check the Ariel he said' oh my my god its filthy , I am so sorry '.. We made the best of it ,kept French door open when we were in the cottage to let fresh air circulate .It was worse on a morning when the doors had been shut all night , that horrible smell of musty un fresh , doggy smell coming from the sofas , which I did not clean as they are fabric and needed steam cleaning .We used a large throw I brought from home in case it was chilly on an evening , to cover the tartan sofa and our dogs clean beach towel for the cream sofa . We stayed five days instead of seven the rubbish bins were left under the kitchen window full , this attracted flies . I had offered to put them out but Jaimie had said no he would do it .He did not. This cottage is in a lovely location and we would have returned if the issues I raised with Sykes cottages had been rectified IE a token refund the price of a meal or free weekend Jaimie had offered . But these were just words and as Sykes complaints department manager kept REPEATING to me WE ARE JUST A BOOKING AGENT , YOUR ISSUE IS WITH THE OWNER , sooooooo If you dont mind doing a self clean before you start unpacking be Jaimies guest.

  We were very impressed the moment we walked into Mulberry Manor.

  The spaciousness of the property hit us first then we noticed the lovely welcome tray of goodies which included a bottle of prosecco, some chocolates, half a dozen free range eggs and a loaf of home-baked bread,as well as a lovely hand crafted card welcoming us. We had travelled with our two daughters and our 4 year old grandson for whom a camp bed was provided. Our daughters and grandson occupied the upstairs quarters and we had the en-suite double on the ground floor. Our grandson was very impressed that there were 3 toilets. We were delighted to learn that we were the first guests in the cottage. We found the accommodation very comfortable and it was an ideal property for us. As with many new things there were a few first time niggles but these were sorted for us very promptly. The plusses for us were the spaciousness & comfort of the property. the tranquil location with sea (and wind turbine) views and the in-house amenities of washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, TV etc. We loved every minute and would certainly recommend it as an ideal family accommodation.

  The lodge was a good size for 4 - plenty of room in lounge.

  However the kitchen let the accommodation down . There were 3 dirty looking frying pans but no saucepans. I did text owner who arrived about 90 mins later with some very greasy/ rusty / dusty pans. They were too late for us to cook and too dirty to use. He did explain I could wash them but that would have been an understatement. I took photos as they were disgusting. I did not go on holiday to scrub saucepans , I did not have a scourer or any cleaning materials . The power also kept tripping , couldn’t have hob or grill on at same time. The dishwasher was greasy and the container that holds the tablet didn’t open. I do understand we have to be careful with Covid but first time I have been to a rental with out any washing up liquid, toilet rolls, or a couple of dishwasher tablets. Suggestion to leave a vacuum out as rug in lounge could have done with it - also quite grubby. The rest of the lodge was very clean and nice touch with eggs and bread. Could do with WiFi .

  The rooms were nice and spacious and the added bonus if a separate downstairs loo was great.

  However, the items in the kitchen weren’t particularly clean and it was clear that the floor hadn’t been mopped prior to arrival by the colour of our socks. When trying to cook some breakfast, we really struggled! The job needed to be unlocked but we have never used one like this and so ended up googling the instructions. It would have been much simpler to include an instruction leaflet. It kept then showing a symbol and not working - we still don’t know what this meant as there was no instruction manual. This left the rest of our breakfast cold and was disappointing. There was also only a sweeping brush, and a carpet sweeper to clean and so couldn’t do a very good job. A bit indulgent but it would have been nice to have a small welcome basket - even just some milk left. Overall the cottage was nice and the outlook too - we had a lucky treat seeing some newborn lambs in the field. It was easy to find and well located.

  Layout perfect.

  Sea viewed from car park lovely, sadly the road to access beach eroded away, hence nearest place we found to walk on the beach a 10 min drive away, Withensea. Overall, the cottage could do with some tlc. Shower trays were black round the tray sealant and the ensuite I had, the water wasn't running away due to a collection of hair which made using it off putting. The ensuite sinks could have been bigger as the shelf above them made them awkward to use. The tall lamp in the corner of the lounge was propped up against the wall, so needs replacing. However..., that said...., the owner was very pleasant when I spoke with him, and we had a nice quiet stay. The day i arrived the For Sale Board for the 5 cottages went up, so as the owner is selling, I would conclude financially there would be no financial gain or point in doing any upgrading, hence why I would understand giving the cottage some tlc would no doubt be pointless.
