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.

  We recently stayed with our two dogs, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience.

  The cottage was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, making it feel like a true home away from home. Our host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. They made us feel right at ease from the moment we arrived, and it was clear they genuinely care about their guests' comfort and enjoyment. Our dogs absolutely loved it here. The surrounding area was perfect for walks, with plenty of space for them to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It was good to find a place that was not only dog-friendly but also clearly understood the needs of dog owners. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and relax. We’ll definitely be returning for another stay. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with their furry friends.

  We had a lovely stay at 1 Barn Cottages despite having to leave early due to a death in the family.

  It is well set up for even the smallest of dogs and that was a huge relief to us - our dogs will always find the weak point in a fence or hedge and there just wasn’t one. The owner’s dogs were a worry but she kept them away and generally out of “our” paddock - except for when they came to visit the folk staying next door. The secure patio area was very helpful. We found all the furnishings and fittings to be of the highest quality and were very comfortable indeed. We loved the remote control shower! Probably the only issue for us was noise from next door - it carries very easily and stopped our dogs from settling, which in turn kept us from fully relaxing. We would go again but would hope that the adjacent property was empty - if you are booking both together then you will have a wonderful time with zero issues!

  We booked this cottage as a last minute replacement having been let down by our original site. It has obviously been newly restored and the quality is superb. Very restful, a handy location for most visitor attractions and a beautiful view across the common from the bedroom. The small spiral staircase may be a problem for someone with bad hips, for example, but it made an interesting feature. We spent a little time trying to work out how they managed to get a king-sized bed upstairs??? My wife needed to attend the Norfolk Dialysis Centre in Dersingham three times during the week and it was an easy drive through lovely countryside to achieve this. No doubt it would also be handy for the Wells unit too. A wonderful stay, thank you.

  I cannot rate this property highly enough. It was spotlessly clean upon arrival and the rooms were all large and roomy with really comfortable beds. Beautiful Egyptian cotton bedding and both bathrooms were bright, surgically clean with large soft white towels for our use. The kitchen is well stocked as were the board games that were all in perfect condition (a rarity in itself!). The owner has thoughtfully supplied a cordless vacuum in the lobby which we used daily to prevent the sand from going into the rooms. The beach was empty and our dogs had the best time! We even spotted a seal! Lovely restaurants within 30-50 mins drive too. We couldn’t wish for more. We will definitely be returning!
