    Thick in dust everywhere and the ornaments was . Can’t open the bedroom window the handle is broken it’s a fire hazard . Smelt of dog and someone been smoking in the there . It’s very tired and needs deep cleaning and some painting and tlc it’s very small no where in the kitchen to store our food . Good wifi. Bins full out the back and mouldy food in a bin outside in the back garden no clean instructions who and what dates and where the rubbish goes out . Dirty microwave and oven . The tv doesn’t work no tv aerial only can watch dvd’s . Black floors as cleaned the floors up and the wipes covered in black . Wood lice over the kitchen worktops and ants and wood lice over the floors .sykes did phone me up the next day I said I wanted a refund they said it’s up to the owner I asked them to ask the owner to phone me he did and he got Sykes to give me some money back which I have received. It totally ruined our holiday and couldn’t wait to get home didn’t dare unpack everything as the draws inside dirty and dusty. The throws on the sofa covered in stains .No blind in the kitchen window so neighbours behind could see inside when it’s dark and parking is either on the main road or if you lucky to get a spare in the car park . Sykes are normally good . This time it was total let down disappointment and disaster .
