“All was going well until the morning of our departure.”
My wife was sitting outside the property reading whilst I completed the packing. The owner's mother-n-law, who was staying in the next cottage, came along and asked my wife why she had cut off some beans from a plant next to the cottage. My wife assured her that we hadn't as we would never do such a thing. Neither of us had even realised that it was a bean plant. The mother-in-law continued to stare accusingly at my wife, making her feel very uncomfortable.Eventually, the lady moved away, stating that it was a mystery what had happened and looking not at all convinced that we weren't guilty. My wife, feeling upset, came inside the property and reported what had happened. She also added that if this had occurred during our stay, we wouldn't have felt able to sit outside which we had enjoyed doing. The woman was decidedly frosty when I later handed over the key.This is a great shame as the property was in a perfect location for our stay in Wales where we return to annually. We have used Sykes on a number of occasions and been more than happy to do so. Unfortunately, this has marred our experience. We certainly would not recommend this property to family and friends purely down to this event on the last day.
