“It started trying to enter the property, poorly maintained and overgrown, trying to lug our suitcases up the steps we became soaking wet by the weeds over-hanging the steps.”
The space for hanging up our clothes was virtually non-existent. The standard of decoration was very poor, although the kitchen was good, the bathroom looked good, but only if you were less than 5ft 4 would you fit under the shower. Fortunately I am 5ft 2,but struggled to get in the shower as the roll-top bath was so high. Every time we showered the bathroom flooded which resulted in us keeping a mop and bucket in the bathroom.

The space for hanging up our clothes was virtually non-existent. The standard of decoration was very poor, although the kitchen was good, the bathroom looked good, but only if you were less than 5ft 4 would you fit under the shower. Fortunately I am 5ft 2,but struggled to get in the shower as the roll-top bath was so high. Every time we showered the bathroom flooded which resulted in us keeping a mop and bucket in the bathroom. The kitchen only had one tea-towel and no over-gloves, all the accessories for a food processor but no processor. The courtyard was overgrown and not maintained. It was a hazardous to go through the back gate to the bins into an over-grown alley way. We didn't mind the lack of parking or the property being out of the way, which is why we expected to pay the price, but we did expect a better thought out and maintained property, certainly not worth the £700 we paid.
Thank you very much for your comments, we're very sorry to hear that you didn't find things perfect and do hope that despite this you managed to enjoy your week away. We've spoken with the owner and they've asked us to publish the following as their response to you: "I am sorry that you did not seem to like No 2 Belgravia Street and that it rained. I note you did not raise any of these issues with me before finishing your holiday.
To address some of your points in detail.
The weeds in the front garden are ergeron..a pretty daisy like flower....harts tongue fern...and rock samphire. We and others like the natural beach look this gives the property
There is a curtained alcove under the stairs with numerous hooks for coats etc. Upstairs in the main bedroom there is hanging space for 8 hangers and further hooks on both bedroom and bathroom doors and a chest of drawers in each bedroom.
On the decor I would like to quote another review from this year: "It is so nicely decorated and pretty"
The decoration is checked and retouched several times during the season where bookings permit.
There are pictures of both the bath and shower in the description. I am 6 feet tall and have no trouble at all using the shower. The shower has been described as lovely in another review this year and I can only assume incorrect use of the shower screen led to water on the floor.
There is a cheese grater that sits over a bowl but there is and never has been a food processor in the " spotless modern and well stocked kitchen leading to a sweet courtyard at the back" also from this year.
I have told my neighbours that you didn't like their potted plants and thought they were hazardous.
As to cost I suggest you contact Sykes directly as they are responsible for setting weekly rates." Property Owner
