Facilities and Maintenance

A welcome pack would have been appreciated, particularly instructions on how to turn the central heating / towel rails on.

The description of the property lists and shows a gas fire as one of the features; unfortunately the fire does not seem to be connected to a gas supply. Fortunately, as the weather was mild, we were able to keep the property at an acceptable level with the small plug-in radiator provided. In the main living area there is only usable power socket, the other is used by the router, fortunately, we had brought an extension block which enabled us to charge phone / Ipad / computer and use the lamp provided. It would have been helpful to have rechargeable bedside lamps in the main bedroom; the single power socket was not placed to enable a bedside lamp to be used even if one had been provided. There was limited facilities for storage of bags etc. As there was only two of us we were able to use the two smaller bedrooms for this purpose, a family might find storage a bit of a challenge. We were grateful for the walk in shower and the gas hob. The provision of more saucepan lids / an extractor fan would have prevented a build up of steam in the property.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m genuinely sorry that parts of your stay weren’t as smooth as they should have been. A welcome pack is always provided, so I’m sorry it wasn’t there for you this time. We also have several emergency contact numbers, and I hope you were able to contact one of us so we could assist you with the heating issue. With the heating, the system usually comes on once the thermostat is set above 25 °C — but I can see how this might not have been very clear, and we’ll make sure our instructions are more precise. As for the sockets, storage, and extractor fan, these are part of the caravan’s design, though your comments are constructive and we’ll gladly pass them along to the park. We really appreciate you bringing these points to our attention, and we’d love the chance to welcome you back for a more comfortable stay in the future. Warm regards,

Nice van, good value for money

I am partly dissabled so my comments are based on this.

1. I had to park next to the property because of my health problems but found it difficult to do so. 2. The property has a massive, huge, Acorn tree over it, and the acorns were dropping onto the roof every night which kept me awake. 3. The seating was tidy and clean, but not very comfortable at all, there was not one comfortable chair in there. 4. The heating was not very high , as most of the week it was very cold and could'nt work out how to adjust it. 5. I feel that Sykes have not explained the surrounding area enough, Because it was so hilly, I had a job to get about, so did'nt walk anywhere. I don't think its catered for the elderly enough. I left a day early as did'nt want another cold night. Thank you

Owner response:

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I understand that your recent experience may not have met your expectations, and I want to assure you that we value your comments and take them seriously. While we strive to make our property comfortable for all guests, it's important to note that our caravan is not advertised as a fully accessible or disability-adapted accommodation. We recommend that guests with specific accessibility needs verify the property's amenities in advance to ensure a suitable experience. We apologize if this information was not clear enough before your booking. Regarding the acorn tree, we understand your concern and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. Unfortunately, since a third party manages the park grounds, we do not have control over certain aspects, like tree maintenance. However, we will pass your feedback to the park management. As for the caravan itself, we aim to provide a comfortable and pleasant stay but acknowledge that it may not have all the luxuries of a high-end hotel. We strive to offer a cosy, home-like environment, and we appreciate your understanding. We have provided instructions for operating the heating system in the welcome pack, but we understand that this may not always be straightforward. We apologize if you experienced any difficulties and will work to make the instructions more straightforward for future guests. We appreciate your understanding that, as the booking platform, Sykes facilitates the reservation process but does not directly manage the property. We encourage guests to thoroughly review the property details before booking, particularly if they have specific health or accessibility needs. Lastly, while many elderly guests enjoy staying with us, we understand that every guest's experience is unique. We value your feedback and will use it to identify areas where we can improve our service. Thank you once again for bringing these matters to our attention. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide a more satisfying experience in the future.
