  • "Absolutely loved the house and the space, the location was great."

    We all loved the games room, so much fun and kept the boys entertained. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was good size with the dining area.The only feedback I have is the finishing touches. While the house is generally clean. There were massive cobwebs and spiders in corners of rooms. Big cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. And in the bath, the mat in the bath had hair under it and hair in the plug. We also couldn't follow the recycling process as it was full already and had recycling mixed. Would recommend to friends and family especially those with Kids and teens

  • "We enjoyed our stay here."

    Despite the weather, a lot of rain and wind, the property always felt warm. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen facilities were good. There is also the added benefit of a games room and a garden room with double doors opening directly to the garden. The living room would probably be better for families/groups if there was more than one small sofa, this is a bed sofa and doesn't provide the most comfortable seating. We did have some issues that I have reported directly to the owner as these were due to the cleaner/ management company not servicing the property efficiently. Had we not had these issues, we would have been able to give the higher ratings.

    The property was clean and comfortable and decorated with a thoughtful attitude. Kitchen was particularly well equipped for a holiday property. Quite a few seating areas for getting some peace and quiet if you want it.

    The games room was a big plus. The drive was very very steep! Had a fantastic week at 148 Fairfield Road.

  • "Fantastic house with comfortable beds."

    Perfect location for Morecambe, Heysham Village and we also went to Windermere (40mins) and Blackpool (45 mins). It did have everything we needed as a family of 5 and small dog and we loved the games room. Couple of bits of maintenance needed and previous guests hadn't put out bins so we did that, although the linen from the last occupants was also uncollected and left on the driveway. Overall a great house as these were minor issues and recommended.

  • "Lovely house and area to stay in."

    We enjoyed our holiday and accommodation, it was close to everything we needed, the welcome pack helped us to know what was nearby in terms of restaurants and things to do, shopping and towns Wi-Fi etc. The house was clean and well presented throughout, had all the means to cook family meals when we weren’t eating out. Lovely cosy feel. I would say the only issue was the outside bins were full from previous guests, I messaged the owner about this which they replied and said this would get this sorted out. It didn’t affect us in any way but I wanted them to know that it wasn’t us! You can tell a great deal of effort has gone in to the decor of the property which has a homely touch. It’s a home from home which we loved. The dog was welcome also and he enjoyed his holiday and much as us. If you are looking for a homely base with local amenities I would very much recommend Fairfield road.

  • "When I arrived the drive was locked by the bins sticking out which were overfilled and had flies buzzing all over and were smelly."

    I realise this was the fault of your guests and the hot weather had not helped but I had no choice but to try to deal with it.I had to double bag three bags of this waste put them in my boot and take them to Salt Ayre recycling centre and was then faced with maggots breeding in the bins for days.I had to repeatedly spray the bins with antibacterial spray to kill them and then cleaned your black bin as best as I could to try to remove the smell.The neighbour had made the cleaners aware of this problem but they did not want to deal with it.Unfortunately this rather spoiled my holiday the house itself was very comfortable and well decorated but could do with some maintenance as the window latch fell off in the back bedroom along with the back gate latch.I was disappointed in the games room as pool cues were broken and tips on cues did not see right.The situation of the house was good for the beach and promenade.

  • "Although we knew the drive was steep we didn’t realise how narrow it was."

    The passenger had to get out before putting the car on the driveway. The cleanliness was the biggest issue. We didn’t contact the cleaners due to not wanting a clean done with our belongings in the property so we cleaned some of the worst things ourselves. There was a brown mark on the outside of the toilet, a curly hair in the shower, quite a layer of dust on windowsills, and between the banisters. Quite a few cobwebs around. Remnants of food by the hob. The bin in the games room hasn’t been emptied. Although the bedsheets were cleaned and fresh, there were marks on them. Having said all that the property was well situated and incredibly comfortable. It’s in a quiet area. Lovely neighbours and we had a nice relaxing holiday.

    The outside kerb appeal was very very poor, plaster rendering was broken off and all over steps, house certainly not been deep cleaned as had been stated, water had been left in kettle god knows for how long, placemats not clean still had food remnants on them, I knew about conservatory issue before going, but didn't expect water to come through light fitting, which to me is dangerous, there is a need for lighting in back garden and for it to be tidied up, not leave guttering lying on floor to keep cover off patio set from blowing away, games room hadn't been cleaned there was a bag of ice still in freezer which had thawed and refroze when fridge had been switched on, this is the first time we have had a problem with a Sykes property, so I hope the owner reads and takes note of letter I left in property on leaving,

  • "Our experience at the house last weekend was let down by some significant problems."

    The basin hot tap in the bathroom was unusable and had been hurriedly taped up to stop it coming away from the sink. There was a bad leak in the conservatory under which a bucket had been placed; water had splashed all over the floor from the ceiling as rain dripped from the leak. This space was unusable during our stay and we had to cordon it off to prevent our two toddlers slipping in the wet. A storage cupboard in the kitchen was extremely unhygienic and clearly had rarely been cleaned as mould was growing. I have attached pics to a separate email to illustrate each of the above. In addition it was very cold (10C) in the house when we arrived and it took most of our stay to warm it up to a tolerable 19C….after we finally worked out how to make the heating stay on. Such a shame because the better features of the house were overshadowed. We made the best of our stay. I am averse to complaining as a rule but feel that in charging £498 for 2 nights in a house with such neglect of basic maintenance left for customers to put up with, the owners are pushing their luck.... to say the least. Before any decision to publish the feedback I would prefer to wait for a response from the owners/agents. Regards Rick

    Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear you experienced issues during your stay. Had we been made aware during your stay we would have resolved what issues we could have immediately. Since your stay we have fixed the leaking tap and carried out a deep clean. Due to the bad weather we couldn’t get the leaking roof fixed straight away, however this has now been fixed and no longer leaks. Property Owner

  • "Really loved staying here, we especially liked its location to the sea front, and the village of Heysham."

    Our 2 dogs loved their daily walks along the seafront and their dog sausages when we stopped at the local cafes!!! The house is lovely and the garden area was ideal for us as the dogs could go out with no fear of escape. I can imagine sitting in the garden room in summer is lovely and relaxing. We would happily go again, thank you for letting us stay in your lovely property.

  • "We had a good, week long stay in Heysham."

    The house has a very nice ambience, beautifully decorated in a smart, contemporary, relaxed style. The space worked well for us. It was useful to have the two different sofa seating areas and the open plan kitchen diner made family meals hugely enjoyable. The beds were very comfortable. It is about a ten minute walk to see the sea, which looked different in the varying light, on our daily visits. A pleasant stretch of coastline with stunning views across Morecambe Bay.
