  This Spa could be so much more.

  I really don't know where to start. My stay consisted of myself, husband child of 12 and 2 elderly parents (in their 80s). After a speedy, courteous check in we were shown by map where our lodge was situated, (note to anyone with a disability the parking can sometimes be a distance from the car parking area to you lodge) was even more of a headache when you have to unpack and make 10 journeys with all you luggage!! Initial look of the lodges and surroundings were really lovely, and well presented. However when we started to unpack and put things away, we immediately noticed that the kitchenette, that is advertised is merely a micorwave/cooker toaster and kettle (how you are supposed to prepare a meal in this was mindboggling), that said there were insufficient plates, bowls etc, no larger bowls to cook anything in microwave/cooker, no chopping boards, sharp knives, wooden spoons, even a tea towels was none existent etc you get the picture like nothing!! I asked reception for these utensils - response was microwave was solely for warming food up?! I did state that it was a microwave/cooker but was informed that they didn't have anything like this, we were given more crockery, and they tried with larger pasta bowls but that was it. We then noticed we didn't have any robes to use the spa, so again went to reception and asked, housekeeping did bring some along and apologised stating they would bring some of the slippers the next day, this never happened! The lodge looked dirty cobwebs in the shower areas, cigarette butts where the hot tub is (at the back of the lodge), there was a brush and dust pan no hoover to clean any spills up. I asked housekeeping how did we get our towels changed I was informed that we had to ask for housekeeping and they would sort this. This never happened. In my parents room there was no blind/curtains at their bedroom window - not what you want when undressing etc - again went to reception this was rectified the next day. The mess from the drilling on the wall was never cleaned away bits of brick dust etc on the floor and nothing to clean it away with again asked for housekeeping never came. Now into day 2 of our 7 night stay and we had a blocked drain in our walk in shower room, the water was pouring into the lounge area, which we had to mop up with towels, my husband spoke to 4 members of staff over 2 days to ask for this to be rectified, and for all the dirty towels to be removed and given clean ones - shower drain was eventually unblocked however the towels were simply pushed into the other corner of the bathroom and no clean ones replace nor did the housekeeping clean the bathroom from the dirty water!! I had to carry all the dirty towels to reception collect clean ones and raise my concern that this was not good enough! We again spoke to staff that they was a leak on the kitchen sink and the en-suite bathroom sink no-one came, and to be honest got sick of going back and forwards to ask for clean towels. At no one given time did any member of housekeeping refresh clean towels, mop the floors hoover around or remove the rubbish ( I may add that there was nowhere to place you household rubbish so once again my husband had to carry and find a larger kitchen bin which was situated around the kitchen area of the spa)!! At the end of our stay another visitor had disposed of there household rubbish pizza boxes etc was strewn all over the lawns in front of us and seagulls and birds were feeding at a frenzy! There was ants and on our 5 night stay when looking at how bad the leak was under the kitchen sink, noticed we had had a visitor in the form of a mouse!! The spa itself was lovely and so were the staff we had encountered, however our stay was really spoilt due to the lack of cleanliness, and constant back and forth with reception. Would never return no would I recommend.

  I arrived at the property at 3.

  50pm along with my sister and two kids and my friend and was disappointed to find the bungalow had not been cleaned There were dirty towels on the floors the beds was not made and also the kitchen was a state with the stove having been used and left as it’s as and a baking tray used and not washed the sink area where there was dirt accumulated under the drying rack which had dishes drying on there. We ended up wiping down areas just so we could make brews The bathroom sinks were dirty and also the bins in bathroom were full there were labels and hangers in one of the bedroom Hair on the sofas and Clearly someone had stayed here and no cleaner had been in to clean prior to our arrival. This was shocking and also put a downer to the start of our holiday We contacted the number given and a cleaner contacted us (who was lovely ) and started cleaning whilst we were here we had travelled from Preston and the kids and ourselves were hungry and were looking forward to sitting down for a meal but the kitchen was in no state to be used. It was 5.30 ish and the cleaner was still here so it is very much an inconvenience as we were just hanging around waiting.i also received a call just then to say the hot tub needs a clean and asked us if they could come clean it to which I agreed and he also said he needed to use the water which added to the inconvenience and we advised them to clean them so we could use the hot tub the next day. But that time it’s was like 6.30pm and we started our holiday. The house was nice overall if it was clean and everything was ok the. I would have gave full 5 stars but our holiday started not so good. Afterwards we also notice hazard in kitchen the floor was dangerous they need to sort that out they have put rug there but it’s not big enough I have pictures of it too, and Sykes did not contacted me back but after I came back I get the feedback email. The owner away good as he sorted everything out. Sykes please let the owner know next time on time so they can clean the house before next guest.

  We did have a lovely stay.

  Good location, comfy bed and mostly clean throughout but a few things need attention in the cottage. In the on-suit bathroom the rainfall shower needs secured to the wall, the showerhead won't fit in the bracket properly so you have to hold it throughout your shower. After turning off the shower water constantly leaked with a loud dribbling sound. The toilet seat was loose and within a day of arrival there was a smell of damp which got stronger through the duration of our two week stay. Theres nowhere to do hair and makeup with a plug and mirror. The bins and refuge instructions are not clear or up to date. Even though theres a washer & hot tub there is nowhere to dry anything a rotary dryer in the garden or even a clothes horse would be helpful. There is no iron or ironing board in the cottage, we had to buy these to use. There was no hoover, there was a brush and a dustpan & brush which was great for the hard floor but there was a shaggy rug in the sitting room that we couldn't vacuum for two whole weeks which made us wonder if it ever got vacuumed. The back door out to the garden opens outward onto a small step which is not much bigger than the swing of the door but is over a foot high from the patio, the steps down are behind the open door so you have to close it before you can move. There is no handrail round this high step making it hazardous for the elderly, children or anyone with mobility issues. The hot tub has no lights and could also do with a good deep clean. While we were there two men turned up looking for the owner as they had noticed the car there, my husband had to show his driving licence to prove who he was and we were asked to show our booking confirmation, they then left us a sealed letter for the attention of the owner which obviously we left there. Overall we enjoyed our holiday as we made the best of it but this cottage could be absolutely perfect with just a bit of care.

  I spoke to the Owner of the property before we were due to go regarding parking because my husband is registered disabled he has COPD and mobility issues.

  He is unable to walk very far and has to use 2 walking sticks.She told us we could park anywhere in the car park but there was a designated car space immediately outside the property which did have in huge letters NO PARKING. One day we had only gone out for a short while we came back and couldn't park the car in that spot. The car park was full. I phoned the owner who came with another lady who had parked there as well and apologized saying there was a big Golf tournament on plus a funeral. Now I respect all funerals but I didnt like being made to feel guilty I was complaining. Its no excuse to parking in a designated car space for that property. I was told it doesn't really happen. The next day we went out again and we couldn't park again due to some one parking a Golf buggy in the same designated space. I phoned the Owner again who had it removed straight away. During our stay we noticed on occasions the Golf club car park does indeed get quite full. Although there is room out side on the road to park. I should imagine in the high summer season the car park would get really full too. There was another two times I had to phone the Owner because on arrival there was no internet connection and the power went of in the property on the Friday morning . Both were rectified very soon by the Owner who was really nice and very friendly and very welcoming. A lovely Lady. We liked the property very much. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable and had all we needed. We would very much like to book again to stay in this property but with the parking issues especially if your Disabled. Unfortunately we will not book again.

  On arrival, out of respect, I took my shoes off but unfortunately the carpet in the bedroom was soaking wet.

  When discussed with staff, they said it had been deep cleaned prior to us arriving. The cabin was clean and well presented but unfortunately with the carpet being so wet, there was a strong damp smell throughout. The shower was cold. This was mentioned to the reception staff, no one came to sort it. Due to having PTSD, I have a service dog. I explained this to staff but unfortunately this wasn’t passed down and I was repeatedly questioned by multiple staff (some lovely, some not so kind) about this even though she had her labelled harness on. Unfortunately, 1 member of the bar staff was extremely rude- when I went to the bar to get a drink she was standing with her work colleague, looked me up and down and said to her work colleague ‘You can sort that one’. There was a dog roaming around outside the cabins, pooing everywhere which the owner didn’t clean up even though there are lots of dog bins. I had to point this out to staff. I refuse to pick up other people’s dogs poo. On leaving, there were two males sat in their car on the carpark right outside reception smoking very strong cannabis. Marian staff were seen walking past the car but nothing was mentioned. The car parking spaces were small and the disabled parking spaces were small too, there was only 4 and were being used by people in large trucks with no blue badges displayed. As a disabled badge owner, this is extremely frustrating!! I would like to say on a positive note- Jason the handyman was an absolute godsend and I wished I got to thank him before we left.
