The Courtyard Lymm

modern and outdoor space

we felt like we were being watched. cctv outside so lack of privacy, noise alert devices inside, phone handset alert devices (so no parties we were told) it felt like big brother. signs warning us we’ll be charged extra for stuff if we don’t follow the rules. 2 signs alone on the bathroom walls! we paid £100 for a cleaning fee yet had to strip the beds and empty bins etc before leaving. we felt anxious about extra charges as we were told we would incur, even using extra linen. there was no parking at the property so parked in a local car park. the flat was nice but there were no table and chairs for us to sit and eat at, just a breakfast bar with 2 stools. we left the place immaculate and followed the rules but it was uncomfortable and I’ve never had anything like this before. the owner met us at the property and scanned all our ID and I paid a breakage deposit. I know he’s paranoid about people trashing the place but if you’re paying that kind of money, you want to enjoy your holiday and relax. why do we have to be watched in the garden? I sunbathed in my bra! and why pay for a cleaning fee when you do half of it yourself before leaving?! I did like the flat but not sure if I would stay again based on the price and rules. the booking and communication beforehand was stressful and complicated and I was warned we wouldn’t be allowed to stay if under the age of 25! so I had to say I was 48! again, I’ve never had this type of scenario anywhere I’ve stayed. it’s a pretty little village, not much there but ok for a stop over. we stayed as we were going to creamfields. but it’s still 7 miles away and it was hard to find a taxi and very expensive too.

really great flat, clean tidy, really feel at home, super helpful staff, really relaxing stay
