"We had a lovely stay here."
We literally booked at 9.30am on Monday morning to arrive at 3pm that day and the house was ready for us: clean, tidy and warm. On the first night, we had a few issues with the lights and we thought there may have been an error code on the hot tub. The owners arrived within 10 minutes and sorted everything for us - it was just a lightbulb and no concerns with the hot tub. Before we arrived, we were concerned about possible building works next door which had led to a previous bad review but Sykes contacted the owners who said the works had finished. Day one was fine but we could hear some works on day two. These did not bother us though as they weren’t very loud and could only be heard when we were out in the garden but the owner popped across with a bottle of wine to apologise (we had not mentioned the noise to the owner at all.) This was quite unnecessary but was a really lovely gesture considering the owners could do nothing about it. The house was a really good size and the utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer was super handy. The front room was really spacious and the three sofas gave us ample room to spread out. We loved the large kitchen table - it set the scene for a dramatic game of Farmopoly - the boys loved the alternate version of Monopoly and the other games left for us. All in all, we would highly recommend Waldegrave Barn.

"Think was over priced due to work that was going on nearby should have been ..."
Think was over priced due to work that was going on nearby should have been informed as we wouldn’t have booked There was constant awful chemical smells causing headaches feeling sick had to go out and about due to this on a number of occasions as could even smell indoors we live in a city and went for piece and quiet and it was like living next door to a building sites as there was constant noise and traffic ftom early in a morning next door prob outside of control but there could have been a warning as we wouldn’t have booked Furniture in sitting room should be cleaned very dirty and sone if hot tub jets didn’t work overall everything felt a bit tired Although property could be beautiful and area is lovely if there had been no building work going on
I am sorry that the work on the house next door spoilt your holiday. You are correct in that the work there was out of our control and we did not have prior warning that it was happening. I do not know what the chemical smells were but possibly something to do with the building work next door. If the water level in the hot tub drops too much it has an impact on the jets, when the water level is correct it works fine. The house is thoroughly cleaned at every changeover so we are rather disappointed that you felt it was very dirty, it is a barn conversion and we do our best. Property Owner

"We had an absolutely fantastic holiday."
The swimming pool and hot tub were a huge success with all the family especially the grandchildren. The barn even though spacious has a lovely cosy feel.

"Well what can I say what an absolutely fantastic holiday."
The accommodation was lovely and the swimming pool was perfect. The previous remarks from another user are completely pathetic. Obviously there is certain things you have to do but you would have to do these if you were in your own home!! I loved netting the pool in the morning very relaxing. Thank you so much we will be back
Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and very much look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"Sykes were terrible and never ever got back to me on my requests."
The pool was cold, owner said it was the weather? Never heard anything like that. The only reason we booked the place was for the pool. We want some kind of compensation. House had more spiders than the film arachnophobia! Wasn't really clean, pool area looked very tired. The owners were lovely but think they need to think about what they are doing.
Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry you didn't have an enjoyable stay, if you had brought the issues up during your stay it may of been something we could've resolved. The pool was heated to 22.5 degrees for the duration of your stay, the unfortunate weather and storms that week were out of our control and it did have an effect on the temperature and debris in the pool. We have professional cleaners who came in and deep cleaned the day of your arrival, who make sure to move all furniture around to ensure spiders aren't hiding anywhere, hwoever during the course of a fortnight it's likely they will come in. We hope to welcome you back soon, hopefully when the weather is better! Property Owner
