I take the opportunity here though -but NOT at all specific to Red Kite -to highlight an issue which many visitors are not happy with although the choice to book or not is of course a choice ie the late arrival and early departure times which more owners seem to be taking advantage of 5pm arrival means loss of most of one day and hanging around n new areas especially tiring during short day light - as does departure at 9pm. It means a loss of use for another day. In a party with children and dogs the times are especially difficult although some owners will discuss the times it is not though really accurate to advertise a 7 day use of the property . There is also a situation whereby owners are saving on heating Amost as soon as arrival guests are being told what owners are providing and this can vary between allowing guests to manage the heating to suit their needs to eg being told the heating goes on at 8am and off at 10am all day until 4pm and off again at 8pm The properties describe that heating is included in the rental but it varies a lot! So having said I am a very satisfied regular customer of Sykes which is helping me to plan many trips with confidence and look forward to many more. hope my feedback is useful -
