The living room is a beautiful large room, fab views, it could benefit from larger sofas, ( small uncomfortable 2 seaters) and the random cane chair with a bed pillow on covered by a throw really isn't up to standard or the saggy beanbags.. The kitchen is beautiful and well equipped, the quick cycle on the washing machine was a godsend in the utility room. All the bedrooms in the main house are lovely, light airy and comfortable, bathrooms excellent. The annex, well this really does need a refurb, the sitting room is very dated and when we were there there was an underlying smell of sewage, particularly noticeable when it had been shut up for the day. Happily the weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time outside, Bbq fantastic, outdoor seating could do with upgrading as several wooden chairs were rotten and the green plastic ones do not do the house justice. The walk flagged in the spec from the house to the pub, well we never did find it although we looked ( incidentally the local pub only serves food at the weekends) We all felt that a little more information about the past use and history would add to it's charm ( I found out after chatting to the gardener over a cup of tea which was fascinating) and a rowing boat would be awesome! Overall a lovely property, we would all definitely return here set in the most amazing area. We have been using Sykes for over 10 years, this is our 4th large family property we have rented as it's always difficult to find a single property without bunk beds
