    “We were a little disappointed when we arrived at Ayr Cottage.”

    The first impressions of the cottage was that it was a bit shabby, on further inspection there was something leaking out of one of the kitchen cupboards all over the floor although we have no idea what it was. The two toilets and the bathroom sink and bath were clean but when looking further there was dust on all the skirtings and in all the corners all around the cottage. The downstairs shower does not work as the shower hose is broken and we only managed to get the tv to work after spending ...

    The first impressions of the cottage was that it was a bit shabby, on further inspection there was something leaking out of one of the kitchen cupboards all over the floor although we have no idea what it was. The two toilets and the bathroom sink and bath were clean but when looking further there was dust on all the skirtings and in all the corners all around the cottage. The downstairs shower does not work as the shower hose is broken and we only managed to get the tv to work after spending time messing with it. In the lounge there were loads of tiny flies all around the small window, of which we took a photo. Whilst we understand that this is an old property we feel that the overall cleanliness wasn’t really up to standard. We have stayed in a lot of Sykes cottages over the last 8 years and have always been pleased but unfortunately this cottage did not live up to our expectations. The location was great as was the outside space. Unfortunately we didn’t have the weather to enjoy the garden but if we had then I’m sure we would have enjoyed sitting outside and using the BBQ. Unfortunately we wouldn’t consider returning to Ayr cottage unless we knew that all these issues had been resolved. With the exception of one holiday we had in Tenby at a place called Atlantic View, again through Sykes cottages, we would have no hesitation returning to all of the other Sykes cottages we have stayed at.
