  Arrival at property was promising owner had left a cake , milk tea and coffee.

  Unfortunately that was the only positive all the rest been negative ,the furniture & fittings were all dated & well worn the bedding including the duvet was very poor on the double bed and they was no additional bedding so when nighttime was cool unable to improve comfort also the bedstead had some damage which the owner had tried to make safe with a piece of tape over problem which in this day and age of health and safety is not acceptable.the heating system as pointed out in list of info was unpredictable and warned not to adjust it and also info list stated fault with light on hob so had to remember which plate had been on to avoid injury, the toaster was antiquated and dirty so if you used it it set of alarm in kitchen on top of this the cleanliness was poor very dirty around skirting boards and toilet in bathroom. My wife and I are both pensioners and my daughter is single parent of my granddaughter so we were expecting a nice enjoyable holiday which ended up like been in a 1970 s documentary so in the end we left property a day early.this holiday is normally a little treat for the family and all other times when we have used your site the holidays have been excellent but this one will make me think twice before booking through you in the future

  I have had a lovely time.

  The property was spotlessly clean and had everything I needed. Great location and a wonderful town, very dog friendly and lots of beautiful walks. Wells is a very nice little town, friendly locals and great surroundings. Due to the current safe distance rules I did not get to meet Sue but she ensured I was left all the information I needed and tea, coffee and cake on arrival. Nice touch. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to switch off from the busy life. I know that for most people holiday means going abroad and sit by the pool with a drink, well that isn’t me. There are so many beautiful places in this country to see and explore that we often forget and we don’t feel we had a holiday until we get on a plane. The drive down to Wells took just under 3 hours and the scenery was breathtaking (non motorway). Let’s enjoy this country that has so much to offer and then sit in a paddling pool in your back garden with a drink so you can feel like you’ve had a holiday.

  Our stay at Goldings in Wells was very enjoyable, Located in a very quiet cul-de-sac.

  Near to the City Centre and within walking distance of shops, restaurants etc or even quicker in the car with plenty of parking nr to the City Centre at the local supermarket. The owner left us a nice chocolate cake, tea and coffee on the table and fresh milk in the fridge for our first brew. ( Thank you ). Goldings benefitted from a nice large garden, plenty of room for our dog to exercise himself. Very cosy lounge area with Wi Fi connections and smart TV. Plenty of hot water on tap for all guests to enjoy a bath. As explained by the owner in their welcome notes, the heating was a bit temperamental due to a faulty thermostat, in the hallway, we could not increase the room temperature, this left it a bit chilly in the evenings. Our only critic would be that the mattresses in the front bedroom do need replacing and are past their best. On the whole Goldings was very homely and great value for the money,

  Great facility - location; amenities; all round quality holiday let.

  No issues whatsoever with the property. However, I had a simple request to do with a possible delay to the day of arrival which turned into minor hassle due to Sykes procedures. I called to say I might be arriving the morning after the booked day & simply asked what collection arrangements would be if this was a reasonable time during the Sunday morning but before the 12 o'clock advertised opening time of the owners' adjacent pub. Given my booking actually started at 3pm the day before, I didn't appreciate being told by 1 of Sykes staff that they'd have to see 'if' I could collect the key before 12 the following day. It subsequently took nearly 2 weeks to get this resolved by which time I ended up booking somewhere on the Friday night to travel on the Saturday. Was told it was some sort of issue to do with releasing a contact 'phone number - a 'phone number's available on the pub website.

  Our stay was in early December, and understandably the bungalow was cold when we arrived.

  We were kindly greeted by the owner and shown around, given suggestions of where to visit etc etc The chocolate cake was a very welcoming treat. The bungalow soon heated up, and was very comfortable for the rest of our stay. The area is quiet. The cottage is within walking distance of the centre of Wells, though we chose to drive and park at Waitrose. We will return in the warmer months to look at the Cathedral grounds and park in all its beauty. The Cathedral itself is superb. The outlet village st Street near Glastonbury is huge. We also benefitted from Christmas markets in Bath - our first visit to Bath. I'm glad we decided to use the park and ride. Free parking and bus passes made the travelling free too. We will need to go to Bath again when we revsisit Wells. All in all, a very comforatble stay for a long weekend in the first week of Advent.
