What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a lovely property with plenty of room for all of us.

  There are plenty of extras including a piano which my granddaughter adored. The beds were comfortable and linens provided were good quality. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of equipment and the large fridge/freezer was great. Good to have 2 en-suite and a bathroom, all of which were clean and cared for. I would have preferred twin beds in one room. The house is in a lovely location and very easy to access many things to do and see. Beaches nearby were great and miles of sand. Great shop very close by and the pub was a short walk, although the food changed whilst we were they and the new kitchen owners have a very small menu. My only complaints were that cleanliness of the floors needed to be addressed as did all the cobwebs around light fittings and the windows need a bit of maintenance as they blew fully open in the wind. I would return to the property again as it was large, light and airy, well located and had a garden. We had a lovely stay.

  We have stayed in this house over many years for holidays before new ownership last year.

  Standards still as high, with some more modern additions ( new settee, dishwasher, and useful sensor light outside front door etc) Key box outside easy to use. Kept well informed by emails from Sykes cottages , and Sykes staff very friendly & efficient on phone calls to book. Will definitely try to book Quay cottage again for future holidays, as its always been our 'little home from home' and still feel so comfortable there under the new ownership. Perfectly positioned near to seafront, with flat walks to seafront, shops, bars & restaurants, Poole Park etc and can park the car in own driveway in front of house. Thanks for a lovely week.

  Overall, a very positive experience - We've stayed here so often that it seems almost like a second home, and so much that we want to see or do is within easy walking distance.

  We have just a couple of very minor quibbles that should not distract from our overall satisfaction: 1. The shower caddy for holding soaps, etc. was inconvenient for shorter people. A small shelf would be preferable. 2. The towels apparently had been laundered with a strongly scented detergent. Could a more neutral alternative be found? 3. We were puzzled by the instructions to empty the lint filter on the washer/dryer, as we could not find one either on the machine itself, or in the instruction manual for it.

  Lovely spacious house, beds very comfortable, very well equipped.

  Sky TV/Netflix/Prime provided and games to keep everyone amused. Quiet area. Would recommend perhaps a smaller step to the front/side & patio doors as this is quite a large step down and our elderly relatives found this a challenge getting in and out! Apart from that, perfect for our needs. Our arrival time was stated as 3pm on the paperwork but the cleaner was still there when we arrived and said it should say 4pm, it was an error by Sykes, so had to come back later, but that wasn't a problem.

  We really enjoyed our stay.

  It was a very hot week and I was pleased the house did not get too hot. Would have been nice to have curtains in the bedrooms as I found the blinds flapped about a lot in the hot windy weather. (This is a minor point). Everything was very clean. The location is quiet but close to the front and the centre. If we come again we would bring some DVDs (we have got rather used to smart TV) again this is a minor point.
