    “Not just Excellent but Outstanding property.”

    The best accomodation we have ever stayed in. The property has everything you need for your stay and of top quality. The owners are very nice and very helpful. We have just one suggestion, to add one page to the information. At the end of your stay to list the tasks the owners wish you to undertake before you leave eg putting linen into the wash bag, emptying the bins and where to leave the keys.

    The best accomodation we have ever stayed in. The property has everything you need for your stay and of top quality. The owners are very nice and very helpful. We have just one suggestion, to add one page to the information. At the end of your stay to list the tasks the owners wish you to undertake before you leave eg putting linen into the wash bag, emptying the bins and where to leave the keys. Fortunately, Sykes advised us of what is required the day before we left so we did what was required. However the message sent to my phone by the owners wasn't read until we were at the services after the Taunton services. On the leaving day, looking at my phone was the last thing on my mind as packing and loading the car is no 1 priority.
