Orchard Leigh Reviews

We arrived on Monday 17th February. There were 7 people in our party. The description on the property on Sykes says space for 4 cars, there was space for only 2 cars as there was a camper van parked there on charge for the duration of our stay. We actually arrived in 3 cars so due the this camper van being there one car had to be parked out in the very narrow side street. The main bathroom lights did not work from that Monday evening, meaning that all 7 people had to use the small en suite bathroom in one of the bedroom as from around 430 in the evenings the main bathroom was too dark to use. Not a good situation as 3 of the 7 people are children who often wake up during the night to use the bathroom, disturbing the 2 people all week staying in the bedroom with the en suite. I contacted Sykes cottages as directed on their website via a WhatsApp chat on the Tuesday 18th morning. I had NO reply so the problem really did make our stay an unhappy one. These two issues caused some distress on what would have been a perfect holiday as the property itself is amazing.
