    “Dear Sykes Cottages, I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding the condition of Glan Helyg at the start of our holiday period, and to ensure that no further payment is taken from our card in respect of pre-existing cleanliness or condition issues that were not caused by us.”

    the Owner is required to ensure that the property is properly maintained, clean, tidy and in good repair at the start of the Holiday Period. In our view, that standard was not met. We found a number of cleanliness, hygiene and maintenance issues on arrival and during the course of the stay. I have photographs of most of the areas concerned and can provide them on request. The issues noted included: - marks consistent with faecal staining and other dirt marks on the downstairs laundry room ...

    the Owner is required to ensure that the property is properly maintained, clean, tidy and in good repair at the start of the Holiday Period. In our view, that standard was not met. We found a number of cleanliness, hygiene and maintenance issues on arrival and during the course of the stay. I have photographs of most of the areas concerned and can provide them on request. The issues noted included: - marks consistent with faecal staining and other dirt marks on the downstairs laundry room toilet door frame/jamb and on the floor; - dust and dirt build-up behind a number of furniture items; - thick cobwebs underneath many items of furniture; - smeared marks on the patio window consistent with dog nose marks/saliva; - one of the beds in the twin room appeared to have been slept in, and the sheets did not seem to have been changed, with the pillow showing a head indentation and the bedding having a noticeable smell of human sweat; - an oven tray that had clearly been used and then put back without being properly cleaned; - other unclean utensils, including an egg slicer with yellow staining/residue on it; - a coffee plunger/cafetière which was already broken when we arrived; maintenance note. - the kitchen utensil drawer and the cutlery tray contained a number of food crumbs and had clearly not been properly cleaned; - old used wrappers and a lolly stick found under the bedside cabinet in the twin room; - dust and cobweb build-up behind furniture in several areas, including the upstairs bathroom and the upstairs double bedroom; - limescale and brown staining on many taps, together with grime and slime beneath plug fittings, which appeared not to have been properly cleaned for a considerable time; - smelly towels in the main bathroom; - we could not get either of the two towel rail/heaters in the main first-floor bathroom to heat up; maintenance note - areas under the sofas had not been vacuumed; - cobwebs and dust on many skirting boards, including beneath the radiator in the lounge; - food crumbs were found beneath the sofa cushions in the snug/TV room; - large amounts of food crumbs between the sofa cushions in the main lounge; - toilet brush left in an unacceptable condition, with grey slime visible in first floor en suite, did not check others. - the tumble dryer had not been properly cleaned, with a build-up of fluff in and around the filter and clearly visible inside the door area. This presents a clear fire safety concern and should not have been left in that condition. Taken together, these were not minor oversights but a pattern of poor cleaning and inadequate checking of the property before and at the start of our stay. We should also explain that these issues were noted over the course of the week, not all at once on arrival. Some problems were only discovered when particular rooms, drawers, utensils or appliances were used during the stay. Given the short length of the holiday, we did not want the week to be taken up with complaints, disruption, waiting in, or repeatedly having to point out defects when we were trying to make the most of our time away. We therefore noted the issues as they arose and are now raising them formally within the relevant period after the stay. Although we have, of course, occupied the property for a week, we have carried out some cleaning ourselves in certain areas, and parts of the property will be left in a better condition than when we arrived. Other areas were left as found, and we do not accept responsibility for pre-existing cleanliness issues present on arrival. This has also slightly marred our holiday and caused us unnecessary inconvenience, work and aggravation. Rather than simply being able to relax and enjoy our stay, we have had to spend time cleaning parts of the property, documenting the issues, and dealing with the administrative burden of raising this complaint. We also note the wording relating to the Good Housekeeping Bond. In light of the fact that the issues set out above were present on arrival or became apparent as pre-existing issues during the stay, and that I hold photographic evidence of most of them, I do not accept that any claim or deduction should be made against us in relation to these pre-existing cleanliness and condition issues. We ask that this complaint is formally acknowledged. We would also ask for confirmation that no deduction or charge will be sought from the Good Housekeeping Bond in respect of conditions that were already present on arrival or which clearly pre-dated our use of the relevant items and areas. As noted above, I hold photographs of most of the issues and can provide them if required.

The property

Glan Helyg is a superb spacious detached property tucked away close to the heart of Newport in Pembrokeshire and perfect for families or for groups of friends.

It's close to the excellent range of eateries, pubs and individual shops in Newport and a 5 minute walk from the beach at Parrog, the Nevern estuary and the coastal path.

The larger beach at Traethmawr (Newport Sands) is also within walking distance via the iron bridge and there is an 18 hole golf course close-by. Newport is set at the foot of Carningli Mountain where you can walk to the top and enjoy wonderful views of Newport Bay and the Preseli Hills and even to Ireland on a clear day.

The coastal walkers' bus can be caught in the town enabling you to walk a different stretch of coast path every day.

When you arrive in Newport you could park your car and forget about using it until you need to go home.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
