“We really enjoyed our stay at Rooks acre however there were a few items lacking in the kitchen.”
Oven Gloves, measuring jug, whisk, mechanical timer and scales. (Digital ones supplied batteries were flat) A lot more cutlery. Some plastic cups and plates for using in the garden and some proper bbq tools including a brush to clean with.
Also remove the rusty, split trampoline in the garden before someone hurts themselves.
Also, and this is aimed at Lyme Bay Holidays, you are using Covid as a reason for reducing services. Why should we have to strip all the beds and put them into bags in the name of Covid? It’s ridiculous. Also you had left all the dirty linen from the previous tenant piled up in the hall. I did email Mia regarding this but nothing was done about it.
One other point, I think not leaving a nice welcome pack like you used to before you became part of Sykes is a mean spirited move.
