Disappointing Stay

Disappointing Stay – Not as Advertised
We recently completed an 8-night stay at this cottage, and unfortunately, it did not live up to the high price point or the marketing photos.
The cottage layout is misleading. While the front entrance is at ground level, the main living area at the back is effectively at basement level, making it dark and dreary. The interior is in poor condition; the walls are heavily marked and dirty, and the cream-coloured sofa was so filthy that we refused to sit on it for the duration of our stay. Furthermore, both showers are incredibly small and the doors do not stay shut, which meant the bathroom floors were constantly flooded.
There are also security concerns, as the front door does not close properly and one of the locks is completely non-functional.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not the place. It is situated directly across from a busy school, resulting in significant noise from children and heavy traffic. It is also sandwiched between a busy road and a public walkway. To top it off, the nearby church bells toll every hour; on Wednesday, they rang continuously for 50 minutes.
We experienced a boiler breakdown leaving us without heating or hot water, though this was fixed the same day. The booking process was also a headache; I received over 18 confusing and contradictory emails from Booking.com and Sykes Cottages regarding payments.
Overall, the property needs a serious refresh and better transparency. We would not stay here again.

The church bells ring every 15 minutes 24/7
The location is very good very near the high street.
The bed was really comfortable.
The church bells ring every 15 minutes even through the night.
The key box is in a strange spot and a little difficult to find especially when the parking warden pounced as we pulled up.
One of the toilets still did not flush even though reported previously in other reviews.
The owners phone is unavailable if you try to call them.
The owners do not respond to messages sent via booking.com which is a first for us .
The windows are filthy, the garden needs a good tidy up and the whole place needs a good deep clean. This would transform the place

Good for a short stop
Location is great
Many dishes were not clean, the stairs could have done with a better vacuuming.
