after a 4 hour drive we went into Primrose Cottage to find the ceramic hob covered in oil, the bath contained the debris and body hair of the previous occupants, the mat in the bath was mouldy, the sealant around the bath was black mould, lots of dirt around the taps and behind the toilet. The storage heater in lounge could not be controlled, blasting constant heat out,it was old and stained with rusty feet. The laminate floor was "distressed" with many corners of the laminate broken. ALL the window frames were coated with fly droppings and months of dust, light switches and electric sockets had a layer of dust on them as did the light fittings, none of the above is what we expected to be included in the price of the property. A midweek rainfall treat us to a leaking roof at 4 am on the Wednesday morning which meant we could not remain there, the agents could not offer us any suitable alternative accomodation nearby, so after haggling with them (Sykes Cottages) we got a PARTIAL refund and set off home, very disapointing holiday which we had looked forward to for a long time. We will return to Beadnell but not to that cottage and not with that booking agent
