We were drawn to it being a 4 tick accommodation meaning (Excellent standard throughout) on the Sykes website and the lovely photos. When we arrived (Friday) every room had live wasps in them!! We found a gap in the wall near the gutter where the wasps seemed to be entering. We went to the reception and after some searching the event manager found some wasp spray and came to the property and sprayed the bathroom extractor vents with the spray and told us to leave them running all the time to keep the wasps out! He said he couldnât access where the wasps were entering until the maintenance came back on Monday as they had locked the ladders away! When kept the bathroom doors closed but every time we went in there were wasps buzzing around the bathroom and escaping into the bedrooms. They left us the spray but it was very uncomfortable having to check everywhere for wasps. My husband was stung on Friday night (lucky that none of us suffer from allergic reactions to wasps - the management never bothered to ask us about that!). Moreover, they didnât bother checking back with us if things were ok over the weekend. Turning now to the accommodation, it is well worn and in need of renovation and some deep cleaning. There were missing bits from the shower rail and a broken panel. The hand rail on the stairs was filthy and the paintwork is scuffed, dust behind doors, broken blinds - to mention a few things that needed attention. The oven was filthy. too! There is a Visit England 4 Star plaque as you drive in - it might have been many years ago - but the Visit England 4 Star plaque on the entrance is as faded and jaded as the interior of the property in my opinion. To be fair from the outside all of the accommodations look beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. We contacted Sykes about the issues as we paid them directly (a significant amount for the accommodation) and challenged the 4 ticks on their website and asked for a partial refund. We were told by Sykes â The owner has said they did resolve the wasp issue for you very quickly and they will pass on your information in regards to cleanliness and maitenance issues you have raisedâ. With regard to the 4 ticks we were told âThe owner of the property can confirm what 'tick' rating they would like to have their property and it is the owner's responsibility to ensure that they maintain the standards of the propertyâ. We were astounded that the owner can simply choose their rating, without any checks being made. In a nutshell do your research and check reviews before you book - I wish we had!!!

Clean and welcoming. A welcome pack would have been a nice extra. Some information on recycling facilities in the cottage would have been handy as everything was put in the normal rubbish. A lovely stay, thank you.
