    “The oven was filthy.”

    The property was not clean. The hoover was useless. The property was not watertight. Rain water dripped through a light fitting. No one answered or replied when we rang the Sykes' out of hours emergency number. The storm guard on the front door was too tight and impossible to lift. This created both an obstacle and a safety hazard. We cut short our holiday as a result.

Sykes take the money but have no one available to speak to out of hours. Very poor service. I have been a loyal customer of Sykes. I won't use them again as when things go wrong they don't want to know. The property was not clean. The hoover was useless. The property was not watertight.

    Thank you for your feedback which I am most disappointed to read. We have appointed Sykes as our agents and they would usually be quick to respond. I will speak to them about why you were unable to contact them . My understanding is that during your stay the weather was particularly unpleasant. We have not had a problem ever before with rain getting into the property. As soon as we were notified by Sykes we got a builder round and he has advised there is no damage to the roof but that he will put extra sealant on the flashing. He put the water that was coming into the property down to the unprecedented weather. I will ask the builder to look at the flood door as this is the first time this has been raised by any guest. We have not been advised about the oven by Sykes but I have spoken to our cleaner. If you had mentioned this on arrival she would have come back and cleaned this for you. I have offered a refund for the nights you felt unable to stay or a separate break at another time to recompense you. I will speak to Sykes directly and ensure that this situation is resolved. So sorry the end of your holiday was cut short but I hope you understand this was due to unprecedented weather. Many thanks Jayne Property Owner

About the location

STAITHES

Whitby 10 miles.

The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an RNLI lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.
