What our customers say about their holidays

  Firstly we loved Lyme Regis.

  However finding the property and key safe situation was a different story. We were not told until we had paid the full price of the holiday about the keysafe situation. We have used Sykes Cottages before and after payment we have been given instructions and the owners number which gives us as seniors peace of mind incase of any problems or difficulties. Your previous properties have been perfect no problems at all and even a welcome pack to greet you not here sadly. The garden isn’t inviting as it looks in the photographs. We were looking forward to using the deckchairs but they were in a poor state tucked up the side of the building.In fact all the garden furniture was in a poor state and it was a lot of money to us what we paid to be disappointed like this. It’s supposed to have a washing machine but it hasn’t that shouldn’t be stated. Yes it states the steps to the bathroom are step but that is a bit of an understatement for health and safety reasons there should be a rail put there.The extraction fan was making terrible noises so we were nervous to use it so refrained and that wasn’t ideal as there is no window in the said bathroom. We didn’t stay the whole term of the holiday we had to return home the bed was so uncomfortable we were suffering with terrible backache. Luckily it was very warm so didn’t require to use the duvet so layed that on the mattress to try and make it a bit more comfortable.

  Such a unique property - we felt like we were on holiday straight away.

  When ‘takes 2 dogs’ and ‘sort by lowest price first’ are your most important search criteria you don’t expect to find something so characterful, quaint and scenic. The owners have renovated the chapel so beautifully and it made our stay really comfortable. It’s very well equipped - the owners genuinely want their guests to have a great stay. The field was perfect for exercising the dogs in an enclosed space, and we enjoyed some gorgeous walks from the chapel into the surrounding countryside along a river and through fields. There are no supermarkets close by but it’s just a short drive to the nearest Co-op. We personally liked the remote and peaceful location, and proximity to the Moors and beaches (Trebarwith Strand, Bossiney Cove 20 min drive away), a brilliant pub just 10 min drive away over the Moor in St Breward, and a fantastic chippy in Camelford.

  Although this is quite a remote location, it was just what we needed.

  We’d not been to Cornwall as a couple with dogs before as we tended to favour Abersoch, how happy were we that we’d taken a gamble. There was nothing that Pete and Charlotte had not given thought too, a tide times leaflet, first aid kit, ready made ice, all ticked boxes with us. The chapel was immaculate and we even said we could move in permanently, it was that ideal. Pete was so helpful and suggested a short drive to the moor for ideal dog walking as there was a stream to cool the dogs off. The nearest beach was 20 minutes away, unfortunately we chose the wrong time and day but agreed would be ideal if better planned. We support a bulldog charity “The Edward Foundation” and have already recommended Moorview Chapel as an ideal, multiple dog friendly, holiday let that exceeds expectations.

  A beautiful little gem of a property to stay in Porthleven, Cornwall, with stunning views across the harbour.

  Ideal location to use as a base to explore, with a must visit to the Twisted Currant, especially for their cream teas and The Deli, especially for their pizzas. Exceptionally clean, very warm, with underfloor heating and preset heating. Would have been nice to have had some instructions to be able to adjust the temperature as it did feel slightly chilly on occasions. Also, no instruction to utilise the Quooker, however didn't prove to be too much of a problem. Wonderfully comfortable bed and beautiful bedding in the main bedroom and some super decorative touches. Settees in the living room were not designed to spend too long a period of time on as felt a little hard on the back. All in all, a lovely place to stay.

  We’ve just had a very enjoyable 3 nights at Fig Tree cottage.

  For two adults & a dog it’s a cozy little base, ideally situated right in the heart of Lyme with parking. However, there are a few things which would improve it even more. I would strongly recommend a hand rail into the bathroom. It was no problem for us, as we are able bodied but could be an issue for anyone who wasn’t so mobile. If I’m honest, the lack of Wi-Fi was a problem. If it were to be added to the cottage we would definitely be booking again & recommending to friends & family. Lastly, a better floor mat at the door. The current one is no good at all for wiping feet & dog paws! Over all, a lovely place to stay in our favourite place to visit.
