What our customers say about their holidays
Judy - Verified booking
This booking was a late change of venue so not initially chosen by me for our stay in Aldeburgh.
I wrote a short comment in the Visitorsâ Book of the cottage before the end of my stay and I deliberately did not mention any of the things that we had found negative as I know how damaging that can be - the fast, noisy and frequent traffic, the potholed access to parking, the lack of space to do anything on the kitchen worktops, the paucity of equipment in the kitchen, the tight turn in the steep stairs and dangerously short distance from the landing to those stairs, the general shabbiness of it all, the awful smell in my bedroom; we had been grateful to have rescued our trip so were prepared to take what was available. However, I felt it right to contact Sykes directly about a very specific issue, the bed. I was absolutely disgusted to see huge stains on my mattress as I was packing up to leave, the cleaners MUST have noticed that there were NO STAINS on any of the mattress protectors or bedding from our stripped beds so this stain already existed and had been covered up⦠ugh. Had the cleaners not reported this before now or was this just ignored? I took photos of the stains and it looks disgusting. I'm happy to share these photos. The owner offered me a small reduction on a future booking and were apparently already addressing the issues I raised - thereby acknowledging that standards were below par. In the light of gesture of goodwill from the owner, I said that I would prefer to have a small reduction from THIS visit - I have no intention of staying there again. The owner "is not looking" to offer this. I've asked Sykes to escalate this to their Senior Management (as I booked it through the them). This request had been completely ignored. Not only that but you keep asking me to write a review - so here it is. Sykes seem to be keen on ticking boxes and getting feedback but not so keen on actual good customer service. This experience does not merit even one star.

We were in Whitby for the folk week.
The cottage was ideally situated for the events of interest to us.Some people comment of issues with the stairs but we didn't have any problems even carrying instruments. Seen much worse in Whitby. The windows look out over a busy street but noise was not an issue. The Sykes listing is wrong in two key facts - access time is not 5pm. The cottage documents show earlier than this but it is too late to know after travelling. It would be good to get a text on the arrival day to say that the cottage is ready for us, Further, leave time is a more conventional 10am, not 9 per the website. We were nearly put off booking by the incorrect times. Secondly the listing refers to permit parking nearby so one thinks of the scratch cards but the cottage has a permit to use at West Cliff car park for the duration of the stay. The property has a very well appointed: kitchen which had all required appliances except perhaps a tea strainer. Cupboards full of more glasses, mugs and plates that you ever would need in an accommodation this size. Sink drainer stand not the right size for the crockery though. Furniture is looking a bit battered but comfy enough. There are no fewer than 3 tvs but we did not use having the folk week entertainment Bedrooms are a bit tight for space and we had to move the twin beds across to be able to open the wardrobes. The beds are OK. Access to the bathroom is down 2 steep steps and in the middle of the night one really needs a hand rail to navigate safely. Slippers recommended as the steps dig into bare feet. The walk in shower is good but the operation is very stiff. Although there is a warning in the handbook you haven't read that in the shower on arrival. Better still just sort it. Nice towels but no where to dry them. The radiators are too close to the wall to hang them on. Please provide a heated towel rail.

The reason I chose this cottage even after reading negative reviews: Location of this little cottage is 10/10.
Short walk to crabbing on the pier, fossil hunting on Monmouth beach and a small walk into the main town/pubs/restaurants. Kids loved the location as did I. The only negative to the location being lack of parking space (Try to use the house just at the bottom of the garden, lovely owners with a small amount of parking spaces for £13 a day in high season). Lovely old cottage that has potential to be much nicer and would benefit from some TLC specifically on the outside. Some negatives: The garden and specifically around the side is a mess. As mentioned in a previous review, sinks, ladders etc just piled outside the kitchen window. My two kids called me outside when they were playing as they had seen a couple of rats hanging around. Wifi would definitely be a bonus here as I had little phone signal too. Tv reception is basic yes but not worthy of a negative review in my opinion as I do not book stays in a beach cottage to watch tv! The beds are not the most comfortable. Would I stay here again? Yes I would. Could it be better Yes ..the cottage has a lot of potential. At the moment in high season ( my visit was late Aug bank holiday ) it was expensive and probably could find nicer for the money.

We have stayed here before and last time it was lovely.
Sadly itâs so clear (and I will be following with a serious complaint) that the upkeep of the property is not of interest to the owner. Disgustingly filthy sofa, television didnât work, if you turn the dishwasher on it trips the whole house, went to wash up - no plug, broken dangerous objects/metal/wood at the main entrance to property, not safe for children, what looks like a tip out the kitchen window (ladders old sinks and just a mess) discarded beach stuff from previous stays all thrown out the back. The sad thing is we love the house and location but we wouldnât pay hundreds of pounds to book again unless the owner rectified these issues. We stayed with our son & baby so to have all these other problems occurring and contacting the holiday company for help - when youâve paid to have a rest was really upsetting. I will be in touch with lyme bay holiday for compensation off of our stay.

Supberb property.
Spotlessly clean throughout. Had everything you could possibly need in every respect. Straightforward key collection, good instructions for appliances, games, books, magazines all available. The furnishings were super comfortable with a variety of throws and cushions. The bedroom was small and it would be a bit of a squeeze for two. This is the only critique I have for this property. Location really is the best you can get, buses run regularly, there is a metro station. Lots of small shops to browse around, cafes and restaurants, cocktail bars. I would highly recommend Sunday lunch at the Grand Hotel opposite the apartment, which is a bonus as you have only yards to stagger back after consuming an epic 3 course lunch with a bottle of wine at a very reasonable price of £75 for 2.
