• "The house itself is wonderful."

  Lots of space, great open plan kitchen dining living area. Rooms are all spacious and comfy, hot tub and garden are lovely. Local area is quiet but nice pubs and walks are a very short drive away. Hot water situation is quite tricky, especially with a house of 10 adults. Waiting 30 mins between everyone’s shower is unreasonable and a lot of us had freezing cold showers only despite all showers being quick and no baths. The house is missing a few essential bits, we had no washing up liquid or dishwasher tablets or normal tea bags. Lack of bins for recycling inside the house. No handsoap in the upstairs bathroom. The kitchen equipment is also a little limited for a house of this size. We had 10 people staying and struggled when cooking, lack of pots / pans, bowls etc. The aga is also tricky, mainly as the dials have no numbers on them and they get burning hot when in use so it’s hard to select temps etc. Sykes as a booking agency are extremely difficult. Website is inaccurate and unhelpful, causing a major issue with my booking that I then had to pay extra for. Their phone options are unhelpful and they point blank don’t respond to emails - I was told this on the phone. To the point where I had emailed repeatedly asking to speak to someone about my booking, had no response, and then had my entire booking cancelled.

  Thanks for the feedback. The essential bits you mentioned should have been provided. The cleaning team have taken note. Additional kitchen equipment and pots, pans, bowls (including pet bowls) have been provided. Sykes has recommended a minimum 3 night booking on their website. Perhaps your initial booking got cancelled as you had booked for 2 nights. I'm sorry you found their helpline difficult. I have provided a direct telephone number in the instructions file at the property. Aga oven instructions are also provided. In addition, the hot water tanks and plumbing is being upgraded to eliminate any delays for large groups. Please do visit again and we look forward to welcoming you in the future! Property Owner

• "We found the property better than we expected."

  The photos don’t do it justice. We had so much room that we didn’t go out as much as we thought.

• "Lovely house good view of the river, comfortable and warm, plenty of parking, and enormous hot tub ."

  The house was clean and spacious. As we had five dogs most of the time we were happy with the convenience of a nearby field to exercise them. We found the cooker a bit difficult to use, would have appreciated a bigger freezer section in the fridge, and that it was defrosted. It was frozen up and a bag of chips weee in there, we left them. Just a little bit attention needed to the wash basin hot tap, it didn’t work, and the screws to the door knob into the lounge kept falling out. All in all with at couple of minor issues, it was a wonderful place for a family weekend. Thank you for letting use it.

  Thanks for your kind words. Apologies for the inconvenience, the minor issues mentioned have been resolved. Please do visit again. Property Owner

• "Generally disappointed."

  For what it cost I was expecting a faultless property unfortunately that was not the case. To many issues to list but main one after it had been supposedly spotlessly cleaned, double plug socket hanging off upstairs wall. Plenty of room for improvement.

  Sorry to hear about your issues. The cleaning and property management team work hard to ensure high standards of cleanliness and d functionality. The wall socket was damaged by a previous guest who checked out on the day you checked in and as such was not fixed in time. Apologies but it has been taken care of since then. Thank you for choosing Coventina. Property Owner
