Margaret
Specifically the lounge sofa was totally inadequate to sit for more than few minutes. The sinks had not been cleaned in a while..The two easy chairs covers were badly faded and not at all comfortable. The windows to the balcony both inner and outer were in need of a clean..the lights in the sitting room were a law until themselves. The bathroom shower grouting was hanging off and very dirty. Grouting was missing from the floor tiles. Altogether a very disappointing holiday. Will not be using Sykes cottages again. Light shade in the sitting room was full of dead flies. Rug in the sitting room was not at all clean and very hairy. Altogether a very expensive disappointing holiday.

The private view looking out onto the communal garden is a treat to wake up to after spending the night in the big comfortable bed. A parking space is a big bonus, as parking in the area of Poole/Bournemouth is busy and expensive. Itâs a great for location to the beach, chain ferry and bus services to Poole and Bournemouth. Finally, we were down visiting family and were able to extend our stay. The owner was very accommodating and was prompt with returning our call when we had a query. We will definitely look to book this apartment on our next visit.
