    “The house is stunning and the location is ideal, but unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of our holiday.”

    The property was very dirty upon arrival. We had to clean the fridge before using it and wash all kitchen items ourselves. The dishwasher was left full and dirty. It was clear the house had not been properly cleaned for a long time—there was black mould in both showers, dirt marks throughout, windows covered in smudges, questionable stains on cushions, dirty bedding in the cupboard, and numerous cobwebs.

    The property was very dirty upon arrival. We had to clean the fridge before using it and wash all kitchen items ourselves. The dishwasher was left full and dirty. It was clear the house had not been properly cleaned for a long time—there was black mould in both showers, dirt marks throughout, windows covered in smudges, questionable stains on cushions, dirty bedding in the cupboard, and numerous cobwebs. The worst issue was the hot tub. It had visible scum marks and was clearly not cleaned or emptied before our stay. We contacted the management company, and while a manager and area manager visited, the hot tub was only cleaned five days after we arrived and remained unusable. No offer was made to clean the house. We raised a complaint with Sykes, but the issue is still unresolved. As lovely as the property looks, our holiday was ruined by the poor cleanliness and lack of proper maintenance. We spent a lot of time on the phone trying to resolve these issues, but the handling has been very poor and is still ongoing. I would not recommend staying here until the property and its facilities have been thoroughly cleaned and maintained.

About the location

NORTH PETHERTON

Bridgwater 3.2 miles; Taunton 8.4 miles

Resting between Bridgwater and Taunton in Somerset, on the lower slopes of the Quantocks and the River Parrett is the town of North Petherton. This bustling Somerset town was once an important settlement as far back as Saxon times and has a number of claim to fames, including the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, who was Deputy Forester at the royal estate of Petherton Park. Within the town, you will find a number of amenities and survives, including shops, pubs, restaurants and a selection of takeaways, offering something for all tastes. A larger selection of amenities can be found a short distance away in the historic market town of Bridgwater, including a train station so that you can easily visit other parts of Somerset and beyond. Outdoor enthusiasts can look forward to spending time within the Quantock Hills AONB, where you will find panoramic views taking through the diverse landscapes of coast, heath and combe, accompanied by deep wooded combes, exposed heathland summits and a number of charming villages to stop off at. Attractions within the area include the National Trust owned Fyne Court, The Seven Sisters for superb views and the WWT Steart Marshes, which provides a habitat for many seabirds and fish. Other places from North Petherton, which are worth a visit, include Taunton and further afield is the seaside resort town of Weston-super-Mare. A great base for touring this part of England with your loved ones.
