What our customers say about their holidays

  Regrettably the double bed would only be a double bed for two stick people or, at least one stick person and a normal sized person.

  I had to sleep on one (admittedly comfortable) relaxing chairs. Either way, the bedding was inadequate with the duvet only just reaching over the edges of the mattress and failing to do so when even only (of necessity) one person slept in the bed. It was advertised as an 'accessible' cottage and to a large degree it was, although an able bodied person would need to be on hand to open - let alone unlock and open - the main door. It certainly was accessible. However, I was concerned that the wet room didn't seem to have a very non-slip, non-slip floor and despite the availability of a stool, there was only one grab rail which I felt was inadequate for using the shower. Otherwise, the cottage was well furnished and comfortable and sufficient kitchenware for two people. It was a nightmare trying to get hold of Helen Wilkes but she was very apologetic when she arrived after a bad morning - and we all have those! We were unable to find any information about leaving the cottage and were unable to get hold of Helen to find out where to leave the key on our departure. (It's in the door by the way)

  I have only said met expectations because the owner contacted me before we left home to advise towels are not supplied as stated in the details.

  The wood burner is not a wood burner, it's an electric imitation. General cleanliness was not up to scratch, lots of hair on the floor of the toilet upstairs, had to wash most utensils before use as they appeared grubby, and the plastic dish drier on the draining board was very soiled, had to put it through the dishwasher before use. Other than that a general dusting would not have gone a miss. Availability of a hoover would be good. Welcome pack ?, a bottle of red wine ?, most other places we have stayed at with Sykes have boasted a personal hand written note with general information and where to find things + a loaf of bread, orange juice etc, and a couple of other bits and bobs. However, a pleasant property in what we found to be a quiet location and good base for days out of which we had plenty.

  Great location.

  Cleaner than expected after reading previous reviews but still room for improvement as there were dirty tissues and dirt under the beds which I have reported to the owner. Beds comfortable. Plenty of games provided which gave us evening entertainment. Despite saying "Ample off road parking" there was only space for one car and had to park the other one wherever we could find a space, sometimes around the corner. The garden furniture was ideal for eating outside or just chilling after spending long days exploring the island. Grass area may not be suitable if you have small children as it is a lot higher than the patio and is accessed by a plastic step. Considering the price paid some kitchen utensils and bedroom furniture could do with updating otherwise okay. Had a good holiday with the family.

  Spacious property with off road parking but that's as good as it got , very run down area.

  The property could do with some serious TLC. Tatty scuffed paint work which hasn't had a lick of paint for some time, ingrained dirt ,no extractor or window in upstairs toilet. On arrival we kept getting white hair on our feet from downstairs so had to hoover. Garden was run down , didn't use it as over looked from all sides . Nieghbour on right had conservatory full of old mattresses which was the view from the seating area. Was going to put our bikes in the shed but it was full of stuff and locked. Seems like a rush job to rent out and property from house shoved in shed. Duvet covers clean but stained.Misleading photos on line. Quite a lot of money for us as a family. Photo evidence if needed. Still enjoyed the Isle of wight as a holiday destination , beautiful beaches and countryside.

  Well what can I say.

  It was everything it said on the package. 5 minutes to the shops, beach,bus station, train station.Doctors & Chemist. It is compact & bijou for two adults & one child that is old enough to sleep in a top bunk. Which is a magnificent spectacular man made very safe in deed, that any child would have great fun sleeping on it.The oven works great. The shower you will not want to get out of. With it being on the back of the building you look out on to a small gravelled court yard. I think the big advantage being it is very very quiet & peaceful.Which we preferred. we would definitely recommend this set to any one. Rosalyn,David & Poppy our Toy Poodle.
