"Very smelly and dirty carpet in the entrance hall and staircase to the apartment."
Old and worn out inside the apartment. Hardly any useable plug sockets. Bathroom very outdated with a broken shower with sellotape and a written note stating do not touch!!!Tried using the mixer tap shower (Not Fit Fir Purpose)but this wasn’t working as I burnt myself. Had to use the bath and a jug to wash our hair. Tried to sort out another accommodation, but owner refused to refund us so had to grin and bear it as we had things planned for the time we were in Lytham St Annes.

"Our stay was such a mixed bag its hard to not leave a middling review as much as I’d love not to have to."
Everything was “positive but...” that could definitely be improved to make The Nest a superb choice, outside of things beyond the owners control.
The apartment itself was beyond clean but... we found a huge shard of glass under the single bed, or more importantly, our 7 year old did (and thankfully didn’t cut themselves on it).
The apartment does sleep 4 easily but... the second bedroom doesn’t fit both single beds, the sofa in the living room isn’t a sofa bed and the curtains in the living room don’t shut fully.
The inventory has most things you’d expect but.. was missing things like an iron, ironing board and hair dryer, but a hoover was left out and there was a dog bed under the sink.
The apartment _is_ pet friendly but.. the eye watering smell of urine on entry was beyond the friendliest of pet owners tolerances in our opinion.
The location is superb and close to St Annes Square but... one neighbour was definitely smoking a “jazz woodbine” on more than one occasion, and we witnessed a drug deal on the nearby corner.
There was hot water but... we had to work out that you had to have the heating on to heat the hot water and 2 radiators couldn’t be switched off, in the peak of summer. It also came on automatically on the first day resulting in a blast furnace when we returned for the evening.
The shower was functional and the bathroom was lovely but... the mixer tap was millimetres between stone cold and Scorched Earth making showering an interesting experience to say the least.
The kitchen was excellent but... the fridge door is on the side closest to the door and the shuffle to open it resulted in me trapping my fingers in the room door to the point they bled.
Overall we made the most of what we had and enjoyed our stay. Big plusses were its cleanliness, location, the double bed was extremely comfortable and it was nice to sit in the kitchen with a cold drink and people watch, even with bloody fingers.
If it wasn’t for the glass under the bed we’d give it a 4, with a decent sofa bed or bunk beds in the single room, a proper walk-in shower in the bathroom and a few “mod-cons” it could be our apartment of choice for St Annes.

"We used the apartment as a base as we were out all day anyway."
Apartment and clean,warm and comfortable for the time we spent there. 5-10 mins walk only down to the front as well as into centre of town. Nice quiet area within easy reach of everything and would certainly visit again.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I am very pleased that you found the apartment suited your needs well. I hope you do visit again sometime.

"Cute flat. Everything that is needed is there
Most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in."
Spotlessly clean. Good price point.
The only thing I would say is for more info on how to use heating and maybe some more tourist info in folder.
Thank you. Enjoyed our stay.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
I love that bed myself - did not realise how comfortable it was when I bought it!
The central heating has a hive thermostat on it. Maybe I could get some Internet instructions printed off fo the guest book for when I next visit myself. However, if in the mean time any guests are struggling they can contact me and I will switch the heating on using my mobile phone.

"Did not stay here flat was very basic the only way you put the putyou up was in living room."
The settee was stained so they just put old throw over it . The kitchen floor had holes in the laminate.the flat smelled they had tried to cover it up with strong detergent but you could still smell the smoke the landings out outside areas were scuffy there was work being done in the flat below..when asked sykes to look into it they just asked the landlord who no surprise thought everything was OK so that's good?no inspection done by sykes
Thank you for taking the time to leave a response but I am shocked as your review does not align with our usual lovely feedback. We feel the property is very well represented on the Sykes website, and it is easy to gauge the size of Apartment 3 from the pictures online.
It is true that the smaller bedroom does not have much room, however the put-up bed does fit in there. The pictures on the advert do not show this room to be large.
The kitchen floor is not laminate, it is tiled. It is unfortunate that over the years people have accidentally chipped 2 of the tiles, but this should not affect staying there and nobody else has had issue with it.
As you can see from previous feedback, we are very friendly and approachable, it is our aim for our guests to have a lovely stay so if there were problems, we would have acted to fix these straight away. I am sorry you chose to leave before we had time to rectify this.
Other than that, I believe your complaints are fabricated. I am not sure why you have said these things, apart from the space was not what you expected (due to not looking at the advert closely enough), so you felt disappointed.
To insinuate I don't care is very upsetting. I have put my heart and soul into that property and you have deeply affected me.

"Overall our stay was good wc 27th May."
We did too have difficulty with hot water and water pressure in the property, which we alerted the owner too when we checked in.
The rooms appear more spacious on the photos over all it was adequate for our few days away.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
To reassure others I would like to say the hot water and heating is currently working in the apartment. However, it is needing some improvements which I am in the process of getting quotes for.
Having re-looked at the photos I can see what you mean. I would like to say though that the apartment generally does not feel small, the bedrooms are comfortable, but would benefit from more space, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this!

Plumbing, heating and hot water provision not great
Water pressure extremely poor
Bedroom space very tight although beds / linen very comfortable
I apologise for the problem with the water heating. I do not know why it is not switching on automatically as I have set it to. Once you made me aware of this issue I made sure I was awake by 5 - 6am for the remainder of your stay to turn the water heating on (using the app on my phone) for you. The main issue with the water pressure that I am aware of is the shower. I am looking into having the shower and taps up-graded in the bathroom.
I think the pictures on the advert clearly indicate the sizes of the bedrooms. The main bedroom does have a king sized bed in though and the second bedroom can fit (at a push) the camp bed next to the single bed if needed.
I am glad you recognised the fantastic work of the wonderful cleaner I have found.

"Overall good apartment however way to cold to stay with a toddler highest temperature after 3 continued days was 21."
3 it was so bitterly cold I would love to stay again however the radiators and windows need updating as they are drafty we had to use towels under doors and have the oil heater on continued threw out our stay to warm the apartment up
Thank you for your feedback, I will take your comments on board.
I would like to add that at the time of your visit, particularly in the first day, the temperatures outside were sub-zero.
For any people potentially visiting in the winter it is good to be aware that I do my best to provide adequate heating, however it is not the easiest place to keep warm. Please just be aware of this.
It would be great if you could come in summer, those big windows actually make to place warm and light in the spring and I do not think it over- heats (unless a heat wave) in the summer.

"Lovely building and the apartment was great, everything you need for your stay."
Quite a climb up the stairs but worth it when you got there. The only thing was the shower, not enough pressure,had to have a bath. Apart from that would recommend.
