What our customers say about their holidays
Catherine - Verified booking
The barn is well equipped, tranquil, remote and the bluebell woods are lovely and the owner explained how to get to them.
I did have a mixture of emails from Sykes Cottage that said towels and linen were included and then that they weren't included so I called the owner and she confirmed that towels were not included but bath mats were included - this did make me laugh as I don't think I have ever had to take bath mats to a cottage stay?! T Towels and linen were included too. If you are concerned with security I would advise you to check first that the warped back door has been replaced. Firstly, I understand that there is an energy/food crisis. We paid £1193 which £1126 was the cost of the rental which was for a 3 night stay. When we stayed at a converted barn back in 2021 (via Sykes Cottages) when we arrived there was a bottle of prosecco in an ice bucket and a welcome note, along with 6 fresh farm eggs (as they had chickens just as Breaches Barn did too), a freshly baked loaf and cooked brownies & we still tell everyone about this! This welcome was such a joyful one and really appreciated by us all! When we arrived at Breaches Barn there was nothing. We had to take our own towels. I understand they are running a business and we would have used electric/gas whilst we were there (we were out every day and out on Saturday evening to see a show in Southampton) and linen would have to washed after we left but a 'welcome 6 fresh farm eggs/note' would have been a nice gesture out of their £1126 earnings. The dishwasher has an intermittent problem. We saw the owner about this on Saturday morning. The owner did explain he knew nothing about dishwashers and kindly sent his son over to look at the dishwasher but by this time we had googled the make/model and it advised to run the cold water tap for 20 seconds in the kitchen sink once the dishwasher had been put on and the first time we did this it worked - happy days! However on the Sunday evening we had to mess around doing this for around an hour before we could get it to work. So the dishwasher needs to be looked at. My main gripe was the security of the property. We are 3 mature women who were having a break from our busy lives. Yes we all live in towns and we are aware that country folk have different ideas about locking up their properties. But this barn is a let property that has to be insured. The door from the lounge area that leads out to the rear garden/patio area has no lock and key slot and it had a bolt at the base of the door that was broken and the door has warped. We saw the owner about the back door at the same time we told him about the dishwasher. He explained that he never locks his own house and knows about the back door. He has paid a carpenter to get the wood back in January to make a new door but this still hasn't been done. One of my friends has an anxiety problem about being burgled. So she slept upstairs. We had to barricade the back door with furniture and also upstairs where she was sleeping each evening to reassure her that we were safe but her reply was 'things do happen in the countryside with intruders/burglary'. So my friend had 3 bad nights sleep. I think the advertising of the property should advise there is no lock on the back door as we would NOT have booked this cottage if we had known due to our friends issue. I did wonder that if the property had been burgled in the time when we were out that how our valuables would have been covered by the insurance? Basically the door needs to be replaced and secured. One of my friends said that if the back door was replaced and secured they would in the future rebook this property.

A really lovely base for our family holiday.
Fantastic location, can get to the centre of Portsmouth within 15 minutes, and only a couple minutes drive to a massive supermarket with everything you could need. The two nearby pubs are both lovely, with delicious food, and plenty of pleasant walks nearby. The house itself was perfect for us, very clean with cupboards full of essentials, a pretty extensive spice and herb collection, and a really good selection of toys and games under the TV (our two-year old fell in love with "Stripy" the puppet, and was very sad to leave her!). The beds and sofa were decently comfy, and although we didn't really use it, the garden was a good size with nice furniture. The TV is decent including some of the major streaming apps available to sign into. The water pressure in the shower was far better than we'd typically expect on holiday, and our toddler especially loved the "fancy waterfall taps". The parking was a little bit anxiety-inducing at first with a wide car, however once the neighbours saw that we were there, they were very considerate in making sure that they left us plenty of space to get in and out. Overall, we had a lovely time and would stay here again!

We had a 3 night stay at Breaches Barn, it was as described on the website, it was comfortable and well equipped.
We were a family of 8 with an age range from 30 to 81, everyone was very pleased with their rooms and slept well. The enclosed garden was lovely, our two dogs loved the outside area and surrounding walks. The garden is adjacent to fields with sheep and cows. The owner of the property, advised where we could walk the dogs around the working farm. THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FOR PUBLICATION Some suggestions that we would like to put forward to enhance the guest experience: â spare bin liners in the kitchen â more than 1 toilet roll per bathroom â shower gel â one garden gate needs a bit of maintenance at the bottom. If you had a small dog it would be able to get out. However, none of the above detracted from our stay at the property. Feedback for Sykes: â the website states towels are provided at the start of the details, then further down says you need to provide your own. We took them but some people might not. â the website says take your own tea towels. The owner had provided them.

This was a comfortable, well-equipped holiday home.
The warm garden had a garden chair, settee, small table and a picnic table, as well as a good choice of plants (rosemary, jasmine etc). It was close to excellent walks around the harbours, nature reserves and waterways, as well as walks around Hayling Island and the vast beach there. The house was very quiet and peaceful, with a very comfortable bed and sofa. We found the garden a bit noisy in the rush hours, but we do live in a very quiet area. Others might not find it a problem (especially in the winter!). It is very close to 2 pubs, and within walking distance to a garage/small shop across the bridge to Hayling Island. More pubs/shops/farm shop/cafes within 5/10 min drive. Just a note of caution to people who have dodgy hips/knees. The shower is over the modern bath, so the less able might find it hard to get in/out. Nice to have a choice between having a bath or a shower, though! I have recommended this house to another for next year's holiday, already.

Stayed in June for 5 days.
Difficult property to review, seems to have all you could need in the kitchen, we donât cook in while away but seemed well stocked. The sofa and the beds were clean and comfortable. This property needs better cleaning, there is no attention to detail, especially at lower levels around the skirting and walls.The windows were unloved both the frames and glass need a proper clean and general maintenance. The patio door, the first thing you see as you walk into the lounge was both difficult to open and close with the glass desperately needing cleaning. The biggest drawback with the property is the loud and constant traffic noise, making sitting in the pleasant garden unenjoyable. The traffic noise is constant and not limited to the rush hour. This should be noted in the listing. As a base for sightseeing this property is fine, for a relaxing stay not so. There are 2 excellent pubs within easy walking distance.
