“While the Bolt Hole itself was ok I felt that the cleanig needed some attention.”
I did speak with Mr Delaney about this to make him aware that I thought the cleaners could be a bit more conscientious. The freezer compartment of the fridge was in dire need of a defrost. The baking sheet in the oven was full of grease and had not been washed. I think this should have been done by whoever made it dirty, but the cleaners could have checked it. There was fluff and dust in the shower room, especially behind the folding door, and the bin in the shower room was really dirty with dried fluff stuck to it. There is a sloping ceiling over the shower room that had fluff and dustwebs rolling down in a long line over the shower room door and the sloping ceiling needed a good sweep. Windowsills were dusty. The storage bins under the bed would have been useful, but needed to be vacuumed. I also have a suggestion regarding the "wheelie bins". They supply three holdiay apartments and are all stored in the garden of the Bolt Hole. When we arrived they were absolutely overflowing. It would be better if the bins were hidden away in a storage unit, especially with summer around the corner. On the good side, the bed was very comfortable, and the area was also quiet. Broadway is lovely town with plenty of shops and places to eat. We have used Sykes Cottages a few times now, and have always found them to be exceptional; we have another holiday booked in a few weeks time, and I would like to think that it is money well spent. While we enjoyed our stay in the Cotswolds, it was marred by cleaners that could and should have been more conscientious.
