1 Cockerill Fold

Excellent location. We’ll set out property.

A few little touches were missing. No hairdryer and not enough toilet rolls! There were a few areas (specifically the double bedroom upstairs) that could have been cleaner.

Location

No garden, or somewhere to sit outside.

Location was ideal. Close to the station and a short walk to the town centre. Parking was good at the rear of the property. Everything else was good and property was very spacious and comfortable.

Shower water was a little cold and the cubicle was very small. I'm a small man and it was cramped. The extractor in the bathroom was very noisey so disturbed sleep.

Basically a nice house but let down by a lack of cleaning and slow responses by Sykes Cottages. The double beds are comfortable, the single not so much. Plenty of seating in the sitting room but 7 people couldn’t sit around the small kitchen table. The big problem is that it wasn’t properly cleaned before arrival. There were what looked like bloodstains from a meat joint in the bottom drawer of the freezer; baking trays in the oven - one had crumbs and melted cheese on; there were bits of dried rice in the microwave and an empty mini shampoo in the shower. There is a cupboard full of herbal teas but no bin bags or dishwasher tablets. I didn’t realise I was booking with Sykes Cottages. They are very slow to answer questions and you can’t speak to anyone, just send sms messages. And then wait, and wait. Unfortunately Booking.Com don’t let you know in advance that the booking is with Sykes, but I will certainly check before booking anything again.
