  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.

  We were disappointed with the bungalow.

  The lounge and the double bedroom were lovely however the second bedroom and the bathroom were not. Unfortunately while we were away we had some very heavy rain which lasted some hours and when we looked into the second bedroom there was a lot of water on the sill and on the floor. On inspection this has obviously been a problem for some time as the sill was like paper. Thank goodness we had no one sleeping in the bedroom as this is a major concern. The bathroom was a disgrace and needed a total update. There was black mould, very stiff bath taps (which had obviously been noted before in previous reviews). no rubber bath mat provided which was dangerous when climbing into the bath when using the shower, the toilet only flushed if you held the button down (again reported in previous reviews) and holes which had been filled in where obviously things had been on the walls. The whole bathroom was shabby. The cooker in the kitchen had a faulty oven door which meant you had to bang it to make it close. Finally the decking at the back was covered in bird droppings so thankfully with the weather not being brilliant we did not attempt to use it.

  We have stayed in many self catering accommodations & 4 Roman Bank was the best by far.

  The house has been so thoughtfully & professionally put together to ensure your every comfort & facility. A kitchen so well equipped you could cook a full Sunday roast or bake a cake with a proper sized fridge/freezer for the size of property. Dressing tables & mirrors, bedside tables & quality beds in every bedroom. The house is so well presented with home comforts to create a cosy & relaxing ambiance & very clean throughout Board games, Wii & great sized smart TV Log burner with enough logs & fire lighters provide for our whole stay Enclosed garden, porch, outdoor hosepipe & a dog friendly beach literally 1 minute across the road, perfect for our dogs There is a licensed cafe 10 minutes walk from the house & a pleasant 30 minute walk along the promenade takes into Sutton on the sea with a choice of pubs, cafes & shops.

  We realised that we were going into a quite compact accommodation but we were very impressed at the way things were laid out and there was everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxed in this tastefully decorated place.

  .The place was spotless and hygiene was up to a high standard. We were slightly concerned about storage but there was a wardrobe (plenty of coat hangers too)in the kitchen and there was extra storage under the bed and in the very clean bathroom.Private parking and a totally enclosed garden for our dog. The owners were very frendly and very helpful and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble when dealing with one or two of our extra needs.(being older we like a teapot teapot and long handled dustpan and brush and these were delivered promptly) Access to the beach was very easy,about 10 minutes and the local Seacroft bar provided good reasonably priced meals and drinks. Thank you very much to our hosts for making our stay so enjoyable.Another very good Sykes accommodation . Jacqui and Barrie September 2023

  We had an amazing relaxing stay.

  The property has everything and more. The kitchen has been cleverly thought out with enough cups, crockery and cutlery so whilst the dishwasher is on you have plenty spare. We loved the lamps in the house which gives it a perfect ambience. We also loved the ensuites in each bedroom. The garden is brilliant and secure for our dogs as we have a Romanian rescue and we are always nervous if the description of the garden is accurate and safe for her, and it was. She was not able to jump the fence and it is not solid so she was able to see out. We were lucky to have had snow and was like Christmas with the log fire on. The location is perfect, just opposite the beach with plenty to do and see and if your a dog walker there are miles of beach and walkway to exercise your doggies. We will be returning next year for sure.
