What our customers say about their holidays

  Loved the place on arrival, great small touches such as milk, tea , coffee, fresh flowers in living room, clean towels and bedding.

  The place was very clean and had an airy feel to it. Lovely neighbour who even gave us fresh home grown tomatoes. Nice view to the rear of harbour and next door neighbours carvings and fish pond. However the kitchen was not the best. The indoor oil boiler ruined our stay, the fumes coming from this was unhealthy to say the least, we had to keep the windows and back door open if it was running. We forgot to leave the windows open after a day out to return and walk into a fine infested house, I checked the detector just to see if it was working, twice at night I was wearing if windows closed and boiler running. Plastic tiles beside a cooker not clever, I cooked one meal on it and never used again as I prefer a constant temperature. The washing machine I had to hold down when on soon so not to upset the neighbour. Kitchen inside door handle about to come off. If the kitchen had not been so bad would have been 4 or 5 star.

  On the whole we had a good week, however the house wasn’t up to the usual Sykes standards.

  The kitchen smelt of oil (boiler) so unfortunately we had to leave the kitchen window open during our stay. The handles on the internal doors were hard work when the doors were closed and something rattled on the side of the house (I think it was the aerial) in the wind which you could hear in the upstairs bedroom. There is not a pub as described but a Bistro who were only open until 6pm in the week, 11pm Friday and Saturday, and not dog friendly inside (as most places we visited during our stay). There was a hotel which had a lovely restaurant but again not dog friendly. Although the weather was kind, it is a bit cold to eat and drink outside at this time of year. Despite the issues with the house, it was cozy and the shower and beds were nice, however we would not return.

  The house was clean, well decorated and comfortable.

  All the following are minor points. The kitchen needs to be redesigned. A small fridge and miniature icebox are no good it needs a fridge freezer. A redesign could include more cupboards and better working space. Similarly with the living room - swap the TV and the sofa facing it and you have a whole empty corner to put the dining table. A back door light with a sensor is badly needed. It was windy while we were there and the upstairs windows allowed the wind to howl through the house - I wondered why the bathroom door had a robust draft proof fitted to the bottom. Overall though it was a nice house in a nice area - we enjoyed our stay.

  The steps to the back door are steep and we had to be very careful stepping over the threshold.

  The kitchen is very small and didn't have any containers for cooking in the microwave, also the oil boiler had a strong odour. The fridge is very small, although the small freezer was useful. The door into the lounge sticks, and we had a job opening it. The settees in the lounge are a lovely colour but not very comfortable. The TV signal was very poor, often we would sit and watch the circle go round and round! The upstairs bedroom was very comfortable and the shower room was great apart from the sticky floor. The wardrobe and drawers were very useful. A night light would be useful at the top of the stairs.

  Only small problem.

  We arrived late and it was dark so we could not see safe numbers at the back door. Fortunately because we had our dog with us we had a torch. Maybe a light in the back would be good otherwise fabulous cottage spotlessly clean and would highly recommend it. Loved the personal touch with biscuits t bags sugar etc and little present for the dog. Thank you.
