Access into (and out of) the courtyard is through gates with a keypad. This worked well once we became familiar with the number entry. Having the car park available next door to the property with a permit was an advantage. The shops and pubs are literally only a few minutes walk away. It was good to have a gas hob and an excellent frying pan. As usual there was only a clothes hanger drier which given wet weather was more difficult. The TV gave a good picture and generally a good signal once I had reconnected the aerial cable to the booster.

Only a short stroll from the marina, but also benefits from being located in a quiet gated courtyard. The cottage could just do with a bit of an update and a really good clean to turn it from good to great. The sofa had seen better days, probably one of the risks of being âpet friendlyâ. Laminate floor needs a good clean and the carpet on the stairs and landing needs replacing. The non slip mat in the bath needs replacing too, as itâs not in very nice condition and would be relatively cheap to renew. So overall good, just needs a bit of work to bring it back to the high standards we have come to expect of Sykes.
