Let down by the poor welcome pack - no milk,only tea,coffee,sugar.Any other Sykes property we have visited have included at least some biscuits.Most provide cake.The bedding needs replacing- cotton sheets not synthetic would have been appreciated in the very warm weather and the pillowcases had loose embroidery threads.

Very comfortable and in a perfect location so close to the centre of town and all the amenities whilst also being very quite, peaceful and private. Benefits from a parking space and it's beautiful canal side location ideal for watching the barges and the swans go by - we would come again in a heartbeat.
