  The photos of the property on Sykes Cottages site make it appear larger than it is.

  There was a sharp broken tile in the kitchen, a door off its hinges up stairs which was just left leaning against the wall, loose bath panel, poorly repaired sofas which looked horrible, the wheelie bins were full upon our arrival meaning we had nowhere to dispose of rubbish, the chairs at the dining table were in a poor state, there were not 2 washing machines - 1 was a tumble dryer which is actually better, the property was full of left food from previous tenants in the cupboards and fridge, the washing machine had lots of hair in it, I got trapped in the side porch as there is no handle on the inside, the fan in the twin room was thick with dust, female sanitary items were left in the bathroom cabinet, the bottom of the fireplace was hanging off, dog food left in a cupboard, medication left in the kitchen drawer along with syringes (without needles). There was a torn sheet on one of the single beds. I had to wash some of the plates before I could use them as they were dirty, the frying pan was sticky with grease and still had remnants of oil in it. One of the security lights outside lit up the downstairs double bedroom making it difficult to sleep, there was the same problem upstairs in the balcony room as there was no curtain at the window. The hand rail on the steps outside was too big to grip and the rail the other side of the gate couldn't be used as it was all splintered. It was surprising that dogs were not allowed on the furniture as it was all already damaged. All in all, the property was not at the standard the photographs showed, in fact some of it was incredibly dangerous, I feel that I have paid far too much for the stay there and would welcome a partial refund. The property was very clean and comfortable but I will not go again.

  Overall a good stay.

  Positives, a great welcome pack and good selection of games, the hot tub is massive which is great. Good to have off-road parking and location right in the town centre is excellent. I agree with others that the pictures do make it look bigger than it is. Staying with a baby, we couldn’t get the pram in the front door as the corridor and baby gate made is so narrow. I used the washer - an essential staying with a baby - but then found the dryer wouldn’t work as the water tub was full but it was impossible to empty without taking the kitchen apart to get to it. The mattress in the first floor double room sinks in the middle and wasn’t comfortable. The bathroom on the first floor has been grouted not silicon sealed between the tiles and bath meaning it’s got gaps and the grout looking a bit dirty - you notice these things when bathing a baby! Staying with a parent who has mobility and sight issues, the floors are uneven throughout the property and the downstairs shower room is very small. Part of the reason of booking this property was it had a ground floor bathroom and bedroom. One of the jets in the hot tub doesn’t work as the grey dial that switches it on/off is stuck/broken in the off position. This is an honest review of what we found and feedback to the owners and we did have a good stay.

  On arrival first thoughts were a bit daunting with close proximity of tall trees and dark outlook to front, however once inside the front rooms were bedrooms so no problem.

  , house well laid out and a, very well equipped modern kitchen , very generous welcome basket of goods, excellent.,wall lights in lounge not working very well Bedrooms okay and large bathroom upstairs, shower room and downstairs toilet , Large hot tub and covered area for dining let down by the grass not being cut and loungers covered in bird droppings, good location and close for everything, we all enjoyed the stay., shame not allowed barbeque,

  Lovely property, overlooking the beach and sea.

  Peaceful and quiet, but equally near enough the amenities etc in Mablethorpe. Great communication from the owners. Equipped well, kitchen items, cleaning materials etc. Just a couple of things I would say need adding....... There wasn't a hairdryer. And there wasn't an "instruction manual" for appliances etc, or local information, such bin days, local doctors, pharmacy etc. We had a lovely week, a family 3 adults and 4 older children (teens)
