“THE POSITIVES: Lovely comfy beds with nice linen.”
Good location with invaluable off-road parking. Spacious and airy. Good shower. Very reasonable booking fee (early May).
THE NEGATIVES: We arrived to a kitchen flood from the ceiling (emailed Sykes). Apartment not clean, in many areas. We cleaned the table cloth, dining chairs, sofa surfaces, toilet brush, and kitchen areas. Would have used the hoover, but bag was full, and it smelled dreadful when running it.

THE NEGATIVES: We arrived to a kitchen flood from the ceiling (emailed Sykes). Apartment not clean, in many areas. We cleaned the table cloth, dining chairs, sofa surfaces, toilet brush, and kitchen areas. Would have used the hoover, but bag was full, and it smelled dreadful when running it. Poor security from Yale lock - its internal spring is broken, so it only just enters the latch. The key to the second lock is provided, but that doesn’t turn at all.
(Frustratingly, most of the above are mentioned in previous reviews!).
GENERAL: the folder needs attention. The TV ‘help’ paragraph, and the booklet is for a TV with integral DVD, which is not there. The present telly is a replacement. As is the heating controller and some kitchen equipment. But the old ‘Manuals’ are still in the folder.
The toilet sometimes doesn’t stop its flush, and will run forever, unless the knob is pushed again, to ‘seat’ the mechanism.
This could be a lovely apartment, if it had a bit more TLC.
Been to nearly 40 Sykes, and never had one less prepared.
