What our customers say about their holidays
Simon - Verified booking
Very poor Iâm afraid to report from both the owners and Sykes themselves.
The apartment initially looked lovely, clean and modern in an isolated area but was met with a rather stern cleaning note on how to strip the beds at the end of the stay and how to tidy up after ourselves. The property looked lovely but we soon came to see the many downfalls. The lights in the bedrooms are simply too powerful and are motion sensitive, so every time you moved in the room the lights came on. Unfortunately we found this out during the middle of the night whilst popping to the loo. Also, the door going out of the property in the main bedroom requires a blind as the external lights will light up the room too. Sensitive sleepers be warned! I did find the shutters did not keep the room dark enough in the mornings either but thatâs probably personal. The secret room was a joy and can in handy when a bat flew in (so definitely close to nature) as one member of the family could hide in there, whilst my daughter was delighted to see such a creature close up. The site the apartment is in contains a bar and restaurant, whilst the food is good, please book your table ahead of your stay as we were turned away one evening. Lessons learnt. The crazy golf was free and a great way to spend a wet afternoon Now the crux of the problem. We only booked this apartment on the basis it was served with a heated indoor pool but on arrival day, it was closed due to a leak. It remained closed all week whilst we stayed there, if I was made aware of the matter beforehand, I definitely would have picked somewhere else to stay. I raised a complaint via Sykes whilst away but they only contacted myself when I returned home. I complained about the pool to Sykes who passed it onto the owners, but neither Sykes nor the owners were willing to help out. I was offered a £100 compensation from the owners only if I stayed with them again, but I donât feel like I would like to stay in the property again. Neither Sykes nor the owners were willing to help out (NB The receptionist at the pool did not offer an alternative either nor did the closed pool signs suggest alternative arrangements had been made). Sykes suggested a small claims but this isnât something Iâm willing to do due to unnecessary stress. Iâm afraid due to the lack of understanding from the owner, I wonât be booking from Sykes in the future.

The cottage is a little style over substance - itâs beautifully decorated and has some clever touches such as the boiling water tap, but lacks functionality and some basics youâd expect.
As a fellow holiday cottage owner and holiday maker I expect the following to be in situ - a toaster, some baking trays, blinds at all windows (the double bedroom back door has glass panels and no blind), working TVs - there are three but some donât have live TV consistently working on them) and welcome instructions regarding the site itself eg recycling, bins plus using the technology (the less tech minded may find this challenging). From a safety perspective thereâs a step from the kitchen to lounge which is difficult to see. Another guest has kindly put silver tape on this to make it stand out and has flagged in the visitors book - this isnât up to safety standards in my opinion. Finally the hall and bathroom lights are motion sensored. I have no issue with this except that if someone gets out of bed in the double bedroom the light in the open bath area comes on and wakes up the other person - thereâs no way of turning this off. This should not be on a sensor as we had disrupted sleep each night. The site itself is lovely - very quiet given it was half term. The restaurant serves good quality food and the mini golf etc are well maintained. Only and quite big negative was the pool temperature - itâs very cold. Our five year old learns to swim in a cold pool but this took it to another level and she didnât want to go in the main pool - which we didnât blame her for as neither did we! If the pool temperature was rectified weâd love to stay on the site again but we wouldnât stay at this property.

Light House is a wonderful place with stunning views.
The moment we walked through the door we were blown away. It was so thoughtfully decorated with no expense spared. It was really nice to have a pint of milk, fresh scones, jam and clotted cream (in fridge) there waiting for us.. We spent time in the lower garden taking in the ever changing views. I have to say that we are missing it already. We had a lovely evening meal out in the Flame Factory and breakfast in the Coffee Cabin. The Seagate was also a great place for an evening out. We drove to Torrington and hired bikes and had a lovely afternoon cycling to Instow (having lunch at the Instow Arms) and back. Appledore is a lovely place to holiday and the Light House was the perfect accommodation. This holiday was the best and calmest we have had so far with our 16 year old Autistic son. We hope we will be able to return sometime in the future. A few small things we feel need attention are the fridge which is very small and the freezer compartment was very frosted up and I think the door to it was broken. This resulted in the fridge door not closing properly. The barbecue really could do with updating as it is very rusty and looked pretty grim/dirty. We did however clean the area we cook on and did use it. It cooked the food well. While having the BBQ we did notice that the only tongs we could find in the kitchen kept falling apart so we had to just use a fork to turn over the meat. Thankyou to Lisa for great communication to my questions prior to the holiday.

We have just returned from a superb relaxing stay at The Lighthouse.
We arrived late after a long journey, it was so welcoming to step into a warm relaxing home. The lights were twinkling across the estuary; day and night the view was sublime. There was a notification on the website of building work possibly limiting the view. Ignore that, the building is almost complete and is low level and discrete, we didn't give it another thought. This is a beautiful place to stay and the beds were like sleeping on clouds, soo comfortable. The cottage was well equipped and tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and with a welcoming cream tea awaiting us. Our agenda was mainly to relax, with some sightseeing. The lighthouse is an ideal base. We had leisurely breakfasts in the well equipped kitchen overlooking the calming waters of the estuary, watching the changing tides and small boats. Easy access to all areas of Devon, we visited Illfracombe, Woolacombe, Bideford (good for supermarket shopping) Barnstaple and the jewel of Devon, Clovelly. Appledore itself is a traditional fishing village, the quayside and market street shops are quaint, compact and offers everything you could need, we particularly recommend Sylvester's Fish & Chips on Market Street... The chocolate shop opposite was an ideal distraction while waiting for fresh fish to be cooked. We highly recommend The Lighthouse and many thanks to the owners Lisa and Steve, for sharing this gem.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at The Lighthouse!
The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The rooms are excellent size and the kitchen/diner/lounge feature is perfect for families. We loved waking up to the view of the estuary and we were also able to watch boat races in the evenings. There was no building work taking place when we stayed and the house at the bottom of the garden does not obstruct the view. We've visited Appledore many times and this home was a much desired property as there is free parking in the street outside. There are lots of games, DVD's and books at the house which kept our little ones entertained. The walk to the village, although steep, can be made easier via the streets to avoid the narrow road. The two outside areas area separated by a small alleyway, which can make supervising little children from the house tricky. The patio area, although well decorated, needed a bit of a clean before we could use it on arrival. I think the recent bad weather had caused lots of moss etc to fall which we needed to clean up from the outside seating area before using. The table and chairs on the patio are large and able to seat a family of 6 comfortably for dinner. Thank you Lighthouse! We had a fantastic holiday and have made some wonderful memories!
