    “The property was perfect, location, facilities and cleanliness.”

    Decor was very tasteful and the use of space in the bathrooms very cleverly thought out. The only things that let the property down were when we arrived the heating was very low and the house was extremely cold. We tried to adjust the heating and found when it hadn’t warmed up a number of the radiators had been turned off and in fact the boiler was running under pressure. We reset the boiler and the house quickly warmed up. If we hadn’t had prior knowledge of this particular boiler I think ...

    Decor was very tasteful and the use of space in the bathrooms very cleverly thought out. The only things that let the property down were when we arrived the heating was very low and the house was extremely cold. We tried to adjust the heating and found when it hadn’t warmed up a number of the radiators had been turned off and in fact the boiler was running under pressure. We reset the boiler and the house quickly warmed up. If we hadn’t had prior knowledge of this particular boiler I think it would have been difficult to sort. The other problem was the hot tub. When we arrived we checked it and it was turned on and showing a temperature of 38 degrees. We cooked a meal and then went to use the hot tub only to find that it wasn’t working. The jets weren’t working and the temperature had dropped. We tried contacting the person named in the folder, Pete but there was no reply. We tried a few of the numbers in the folder but with no joy unfortunately. We book a property because we enjoy going in the hot tub after a meal on the Friday night. We feel that this has taken away some of amazing assets if this property. We finally got through to Sykes( the number used was the one on their email confirming the property details) and they were very good at communicating with myself. A couple of local hot tub contractors managed to fix the hot tub at 6pm on Saturday and we looked forward to using it on the Sunday. We checked it on Sunday and things seemed to be ok but when we came to use the hot tub on Sunday afternoon we found that a few of the jets were not working and the temperature quickly dropped. We presume that some of the motors may not be working. We were again disappointed as this is a highlight of our stay. We wouldn’t want this to affect further bookings for the owners as it was a lovely cottage. We would like you to consider a refund of a small amount due the inconvenience of contacting Sykes, the workmen and the hot tub not working properly. Thank you
