"The property is in a lovely area for visiting many of the wonderful places around Suffolk."
First impression when arriving was how disappointing the front of the cottage looked. The steps were in need of a good sweep and the front window sill needed a good wash. Even though the kitchen was supposedly new the state of the appliances left a lot to be desired. The kettle leaked, the oven was really grubby especially the grill tray. The microwave was, in our opinion, a health hazard. It was so rusty inside, I have taken photographs for you to see if needed. It really does need replacing. The property is advertised for five persons. How on earth five people could sit and have their meals on the really low bench and table in the kitchen I will never know. There were two of us and we really struggled, ended up eating our meals in the lounge at the coffee table. So inconvenient. We were very underwhelmed with the welcome pack of a small carton of milk. In conclusion does Sykes Cottages actually visit the properties before awarding them their star ratings?? This property did not warrant the rating it has been given. We use the rating system as a guide on booking the many holidays we have had with Sykes Cottages in the past.
