Beware of property management company, Sykes Cottages

Horrible management company. Read their online reviews. Almost impossible to reach by telephone, email, chat, text,Whatsapp(recommended by them). VRBO tried unsuccessfully as well. Fireplaces are unusable, though listed as an amenity. The bathrooms are on 1st floor with all bedrooms on 2nd floor.

Ruhige Lage und viele Möglichkeiten

Vielleicht wäre im Land der Teetrinker eine große Teekanne im Haus angebracht. Auch fehlt eine Kaffeemaschine. Ansonsten alles prima
