    All facilities were present, as mentioned although it would have been nice to have had a coffee machine as we had to bring our own with us. Very spacious and comfortable. Quality fixtures and fittings and a lovely sunny garden to sit out in the sunshine that finally arrived whilst we were there! Only gripe was that the garden table and chairs were covered in moss and seagull droppings so we had to clean all this off before we could sit out. Maybe a cover over the table and chairs might help? Loved the layout and location. Thanks for a wonderful stay. Not my usual experience with Sykes as the booking agent this time, however. Our first choice property that was booked was cancelled at short notice due to storm damage which was understood but I had to find my own replacement property as the properties that were suggested by Sykes were not suitable at all for our party. I asked from the outset if we could have an early and late check in and checkout where we eventually booked but found that I had to ring on the actual day to find out, despite the property being empty before and after. What made it more infuriating was that I had to wait ages on the phone for anyone to answer despite being told I would get straight through and return calls that were promised to give me information were not always made to me. I'm not sure why the service with Sykes has changed. I appreciate it's a busy time but I thought Sykes was ready for that?
