“Started off so well, cottage way above our expectations.”
Spotlessly clean, quiet, well laid out with everything we could possibly need. Until Wednesday afternoon when we returned after lunch to a flat back scaffolding lorry parked sideways on our drive. We had to cram on drive best we could. As we like to settle down in the afternoon, this became impossible as the men with lorry began noisily unloading and erecting scaffolding poles, we were also very concerned as our car was right up against the lorry and it was unsettling our dog who went into sentry mode barking/pacing. We said nothing thinking it was a one off but on returning Thursday afternoon there was the lorry, 2 men, more poles and a radio! Again had to cram car on! Got in touch with Sykes who were immediately very understanding but totally unaware of any building work taking place on the property saying they would contact the owners. We heard nothing more from Sykes, the scaffolders continued but turned the radio off! It was too much for us so we packed up and left! At no time did the owner get in touch to inform us the lorry would be there cause had we have known we could have arranged our days so we stayed out longer. In fact had we have known there was building work being undertaken we wouldn’t have booked! We came away for peace and quiet, we didn’t get it! Not booking with Sykes again as it appears they think more of their property owners than the people who book with them. Such a shame, lovely property!
Thank you we appreciate your comments regarding the property as we always strive to present the accommodation as best as we possibly can.
With regards to the scaffold lorry although it was here for a short period of time if we had been pre warned of its attendance we could have spoken with you about it and either rearrange the date to Friday or agreed some times with you to avoid any disruption to your break away.
