  Such a beautiful property.

  Still looks exactly as the photos describe, immaculately clean. We arrived to a generous welcome hamper, milk in the fridge and some beautiful flowers which was such a lovely touch. Not listed on the property facilities but there is also a washing machine (might be worth updating the listing as could put people off). Surrounding location is very pretty and all you can hear as the sun comes up is the birds. The kids loved the games room and my youngest enjoyed the abundance of games and puzzles. Huge collection of DVDs if the weather isn’t on your side. The recommendations in the welcome book are well worth a visit. We went to Westward Ho! Sandymouth, Clovelly, Bude - all these beaches offer something different and magical. Make sure you check tide times! The vet in the village (just 4 mins away) is very helpful, our youngest pup cut her paws due to scrambling over rocks (bloody spaniels) so it was really handy to just call up and pop down and get them checked. The local spa has essentials and the staff are lovely. We had a very minor blip during our stay where on our last full day the boiler lost pressure so we were without hot water and heating for the day but the log burning fire solved the heating issue and I spoke to Giles who resolved the hot water by late afternoon and all was well. It’s a lovely cottage, beautiful location, with lovely responsive hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  When we arrived we noticed that the property wasn’t very clean.

  There is mould in the down stairs bedroom, cobwebs, the skirting boards were dirty and had not been cleaned. On the back of the bedroom doors it says fire door keep closed and they don’t close shut. I opened the dishwasher and the smell that came from there was so bad i was nearly sick. The crockery wasn’t very clean where it must of been put through the dishwasher it had left it all feeling all dirty like specks on. So we had to wash things up before we used them. When we arrived home i did complain about the above and was told I should of complained when i was there for the owner to rectify the problems. I wasn’t happy with the reply i got as we payed for the Holiday to get away and relax i we didn’t want people coming in to rectify what should of been done before we arrived. I did take photos to backup my evidence but Sykescottages said they were not going to offer any compensation as i should of complained when i was there. I will never go through sykescottages.co.uk again as they expected me to complain when i was there for it to be rectified when it should if been done before our arrival. There was more that I complained about but it seems that it’s all my fault as I didn’t report it when i was there.

  Fantastic stay at this property, it was the perfect to get away for a quiet weekend of celebration with family.

  The biggest selling point, for me, is the garden, which is a really good size. The patio/decking area is great, more than big enough for us (party of 8 plus a 3yo) to spend the afternoon/evening having a BBQ. There is a fantastic bamboo area and it's the kind of garden you can have a stroll around and visit all the nooks and crannies. Interior is well furnished and the beds are comfortable, we all slept well. There is ample dining space and plenty of separate rooms, so that if you are a large group you can be doing different things and not always on top of each other. There is not a lot of surrounding infrastructure (that is to be expected, based on the type of property) but there is a newsagent and pub at the top of the hill which takes around 10-15 mins to stroll up or would take 1-3 minutes by car. There is plenty of parking both at the property and in the nearby village square. All in all, a fantastic place for a short break.

  We had a fantastic holiday , the property is done to an amazingly high standard.

  The photos do not do it justice - the kitchen and bathrooms were stunning and every comfort is covered. It is very focused on dogs , with the warm dog shower and hairdryer , the fenced in patio area and fenced paddock , and as many clean dog towels as you want! Perfect for us! Lots of lovely woods walks and 8 miles from perfect beaches! Mark and Carroll are very welcoming and always available for any queries-so friendly and helpful! The property is spotless and the bedding is a very high quality,I have very sensitive skin and bring my own sheets on holiday - but I didnt need to use them which was lovely! We will definitely be coming again next year and would highly recommend to anyone. We were over the moon with everything-and the hot tub is on from 10-10 every day so you can nip in whenever you want to! We really loved that! The only problem was we didn't want to leave!

  Beautiful property and amazing grounds.

  The house had absolutely everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack when we arrived. Everything you could want in the kitchen to prepare, cook and serve family meals. The dining table fitted us all around it perfectly. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms really clean, the walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom was a real treat. Downstairs was very spacious, with a brilliant and cosy log burner in the lounge. The conservatory was glorious in the sunshine. The Xbox in the lounge and the outdoor games room were a wonderful bonus. We loved the patio area, the fish pond, the swings and the football net on the top field was an absolute winner with our son. The washer and dryer were also super handy when needed. The owner was very friendly and helpful when we had any queries. We would thoroughly recommend this property to our family and friends.
