Hillside Apartment

We stayed at Hillside for 7 nights and overall had a good week in the area.

Quite a few issues with the apartment.: We were only provided with only 2 medium towels.. Sent Sykes a email to provide more but no response. We did have beach towels with us, and initially thought we could just use them and dry them in tumble dryer, but found that was not working. Printed note from Owners saying it did not work on the information sheet,so clearly no plan to fix this/ replace soon? Why provide something that does not work.? Shower made a horrific noise every time you used it. A mirror would help in bedroom to dry hair, get ready etc. Only 1 mirror in bathroom. Fridge made a noise throughout our stay. Quite a lot of noise can be heard from the accommodation above. Walking around/ suitcases being wheeled around etc. Garden would benefit from some TLC. In general the apartment would also benefit from some maintenance, and very disappointed to have no response to our email.

Lovely place, everything you need for a short or longer break.

Nice welcome pack. Well equipped but an iron and and a hairdryer would be great to add. Fantastic well maintained patio and a garden. Few downsides. As apart of a bigger property we had the ground floor and further two floors were occupied by other people. You could hear every noise especially the little boy running up and down from 7:30 every morning. Not ideal if you come to catch up with a sleep. The parking space on the back where our entrance was I thought was just for us, but our neighbours had two cars so they parked one on the front and the other in our space. That was causing problem getting to and from the car as the space wasn't quite big enough for two cars. Confusion with the waste collection. The rubbish has been cancelled every three weeks. We didn't know if that was the right week. The bin was full. We took it down the hill to the main road (quite a journey) just to find out that the general wast was collected last week, so we had to bring the full bin back. Visitors should be given the exact dates when the collection is actually happening. Overall our dogs and we had a lovely time.

The apartment was ok- not of the standard I expect from Sykes.

The property had a damp smell and was grubby. The shower head leaks over the top of the shower cubicle. Cobwebs with spiders in the bedroom and lounge. Garden was unkempt and the patio area and furniture was filthy!! There was no visible information about anything. A mirror in the bedroom would be useful. Having said all of that we enjoyed our break, visiting some lovely places.
