Spacious, clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped. There are even cleaning products provided. The boiler and cooker were a little confusing at first, but the owner has left all of the manuals for the appliances on top of the washing machine. The property is on a main road but we didnât think it was excessively noisy. The bed and pillows were a bit firm for our liking, but that is personal taste. Next time weâll be taking our own pillows. What impressed us the most was the standard of cleanliness, we know this property allows dogs but you would never guess if you didnât know - no doggy smells and not a single hair seen during our stay. The downstairs loo is a bit wobbly and has a small leak and the frying pans have seen better days - I left a note for the housekeeper so the owner should be made aware. This is a lovely property, well worth a visit.

No instructions about any of the facilities such as how the boiler worked or the arrangements for heating and hot water, Wi-Fi etc were immediately apparent. We eventually found rudimentary information scrawled on a piece of paper in the tv cabinet and only later in the stay found a printed sheet amongst the leaflets about the area. The kitchen equipment, pans etc were old and scratched making them practically unusable and the oven was dirty and filled the room with smoke when switched on, at one point it set the smoke alarm off and made everything smell of grease. The boiler was house behind a cover which was simply taped to the adjoining cupboard. The windows downstairs were filthy, pity because the view towards the sea was lovely. The downstairs toilet was wobbly and leaked all over the floor. The property description states Wi-Fi is included but we couldnât connect at all during our stay. Outside the front in the building adjoining (the pub?) a window was smashed and there was glass all over the pavement and the main entrance round the back was unkempt and unwelcoming. Sykes Cottages the photos on your website listing bear no actual resemblance to the reality. You need to go and inspect the place and revise your listing. Unfortunately for me I only looked at the most recent reviews, if you read a few more you get the true picture. The whole experience would put me off booking with Sykes again.

The weather was awful so spent a lot of time in the cottage, greyhounds donât like the cold! We totally chilled, books, jigsaw and board games provided. Beds were really comfortable and there was plenty of suitable space for wet coats and boots. However, back door lock needs looking at, instructions regarding switching on the boiler need updating and info on which bin is for the cottage would help. An outside light on the front of the cottage would be helpful as it was pitch black when we left the pub next door. The pub was welcoming and the food was great. Would book again.
