Lay My Hat

We run a big house here, my question is that the guests often book there own suppliers, can be chefs dance classes chocolate suppliers, and several more experiences I may have missed. I want to know firstly should I see there Insurance covers them at our property for using our facilities, and second...

We have a hot tub its brilliant, the guests come here for many more days because we have one, and when its dirty, we change it for them too. Best draw you can have

I love the way you all look but no one replies, I am at my wits end, and worse still our house keeper is away this weekend, so have some more help but they have never been in the house before.

OMG I never thought it could happen, I booked sat to Monday last may 2018 for this weekend. We work with a great house owner who lets ours too, its worked fab for two years. But I have always said to check our web page before taking bookings as all my date are put there once a deposit is paid. Well ...

Hi I registered with them 6 weeks ago, and have 5 fully paid up bookings from £1900 up to £2400. can't complain.

Sorry to bring this up again, I have looked at past posts, we have a Worcester OIL Boiler, which is a combi, so we leave the water on all the time, but the heating is the bug bare, we have a thermstate in the house which they leave on the highest all the time, we try and run the boiler on a timer, b...

I do have Alpacas and the guests love them, we make a point of a set time to have the guests come and feed them, which is the highlight of the week in some of the children's eyes, your welcome to pm.

OMG thank goodness we have not fixed the box up yet. I have ordered a hotel thmo with my plumber now instead. Taken on board all you have said to me, kate and toms photographer coming soon, to do all new pictures for our web too. Yes it is a very sad state of pricing, and I think where they charge u...

It is for the whole house we set at 20, then they also have them on the rads in each room too, but never turn them down, just open a door or window. and at £675 for 17 guests in 8 bedrooms, for a three night break, courtesy of sykes cottages, miss management on pricing. but we are out of them from e...

Its June and they are putting the state up to 25, they then go and leave doors open, windows etc, I get so cross, they would not do it at home for sure.
We do live on site. we have two wood burners, they have free wood, and would not dream of lighting either of them.

Just to add we have put lots of drilled air hole in the side and front so as the air can pass through and still give a room temp.

I was told this and it's so easy, If you want to cover a thermostat, so it stays set at 20, ours goes up to 25, and the guests just abuse it. Never ever turn it down, leave all the doors open, you name it, its happened. Buy a petty cash tin, cut out the size of the item to cover on the bottom of the...

Hi any other sykes folk who had to finish renting through this firm, how did you go about it so as not to have to pay a huge amount to finish the contract. We signed last june/july 2014 and we are being asked to sign again now to renew, also they have taken Christmas and new year bookings out of the...

I am so upset, but yes they do have printed books out, but most of the guests do everything on line now, and that is the easiest way to alter the prices on their web site, I just can't go another winter with the heating etc etc, and not to be able to run the Rayburn, which helps on the heating all w...

Well at last they have been to re do the prices, The area rep came this week and was very impressed with the updates, 2 wardrobes, one extra table in kitchen covered with plastic table cloths with a plant in the middle, and two easy chairs in two of the bedrooms! so we now get a very big price incre...
