Lounge- the large carpet in here was covered in dog hair and other detritus and we hade to beat it outdoors and hoover thoroughly- however the lounge smelt of dog no matter how much we sprayed air freshener, no instructions or supplies for wood stove. No instructions for tv/ sound system, no bins in this room or any bedroom.sweets and doggy treats under settees Bathroom- window handle snapped off an could not be opened,shower temperature control has snapped off making it very difficult to adjust,no lock on bathroom door,no blind on window,hot and cold taps are wrongly marked making it a scalding hazard for my grandchildren, no shaver point En suite-no blind on window so could not open as camp site is behind property, sink is leaking water onto floor Double bedroom- only one bedside light Outside back- could not use decking area because of fumes mentioned earlier, decking had twigs , leave on and brambles growing over it.all the pots planters unkempt just contained soil and dead twigs , drain from kitchenwas blocked and overflowing onto path , no patio furniture dépité this being requested previously by your agent -porch area - filthy seats which we did not use, the artificial turf was covered in leaves dirt etc and smelt of dog urine Front garden- overgrown and unkempt so not usable for grandson to play in Other- no information booklet with emergency numbers etc,no information leaflets on area which I have always had,windows difficult to open and close and some didn’t open, kept getting error codes when using washer,front door handle loose and difficult to close, more than half a dozen light bulbs not working I related these problems to you after my first night in the property and received a call from your agent at 4.45 on the Wednesday but lost signal. Spoke to her on Thursday morning and said a handycan could call that day- rang again on Friday morning and Fiona informed me that no handyman had been available so she called and hammered the stair spikes down but couldn’t do anything else. She also informed me that they were discontinuing the property listing and rehousing future bookings. As mentioned previously I am a loyal Sykes customer if you look at my account history and I have 2 future bookings with you. After talking to your local agent it is apparent that Sykes knew of most of these issues and should have not taken my booking.What was my son and daughter-in-law s only holiday this year has been ruined. Accordingly my expectation is for a full refund and recompense for all the hassle,cleaning.phone calls / messages I had to make You may also wish to look at a June booking.

The property

Nestled in the North Yorkshire village of Lythe is Meadowfield House, a lovely, three-bedroom home.

Located paces away from a hub of amenities and a short distance to the coastline, Meadowfield House sits within the prime position of the North York Moors National Park, making it a wonderful base for touring the region; six guests are welcomed for a seascape.

Park up off-road before making your way indoors to your stylish new home.

Start your getaway in the homely sitting room, complete with a rustling woodburning stove, a plush corner sofa, and a wall-mounted Smart TV for entertainment.

Continue through to reach the handy utility room, where you can store your walking gear, and keep on top of your laundry, where you'll also find a convenient cloakroom.

Completing the ground floor is the well-equipped kitchen/diner, housing all the appliances for a self-catered stay, where you can rustle up tasty meals to be enjoyed either indoors or outdoors; take advantage of the rear decked area for an alfresco affair.

If you want to dine out, The Siddy is two doors down serving fantastic meals.

As day turns into night, retire upstairs to catch some rest from one of three well-appointed bedrooms; select from a king-size with TV and en-suite, a king, and a twin, all serviced by a bathroom.

Awaken to coastal views before preparing to travel the coastline, firstly stopping off at nearby Sandsend Beach, guiding you towards Whitby and its wealth of attractions; be sure to visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, climb the 199 Steps, tour the remains of Whitby Abbey, and grab an ice cream at Whitby Sea Front.

Nearby you'll also locate the remains of Mulgrave Castle, offering a countryside landscape for keen hikers, whilst Robin Hood's Bay Beach and Kettleness Beach offer further seaside settings to unwind.

Round off your break with a tour of the National Trust property, Ormesby Hall, a stroll along River Tees, and a visit to Dorman Museum, before returning home for sun set.

Head to the coast with Meadowfield House as your abode.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
