  The old police house was a great place it was very clean, tidy and in a great location.

  The beds were very comfortable. There was more than enough cutlery, and dinnerware for all the family there were even kids cutlery and dinnerware. The notice board was great as gave us useful information so did the handbook that was left but really needed updating and it was contradicting what was on the notice board. The outdoor toilet is great addition.there was a cupboard full of games most were old but still fun to play. The only downside to the property was the lack of door handles, out of the three bedroom doors upstairs only one room had a door handle making if difficult for privacy. One of the bedrooms was also missing a blind so got a lot of light coming into the room in the morning. There were no instructions for the washer/dryer so had to Google them. There were pegs in the property but no clothes lines so this made it difficult to dry clothes when the weather outside was wet. The stairs in the property are steep and could really do with a handrail all the was down. The stairs in the back garden are also very steep and narrow but when you make it up on to the decking it is very lovely and big area for all the family to set out and enjoy. Overall this was a great property I would definitely stay at this property again.

  The property was very nice - just a few thoughts. On the plus side, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed our time in the property. So the comments below are not intended to suggest that we didn't enjoy ourselves. All but one of the beds was very comfortable and the showers were good. Very handy to have a ground floor bathroom with shower. But, it was very hard to find as sat nav took you to the wrong place. Also, there are no photographs of the front of the property on the website. Not only did this make it hard to find but also obscured the fact that the property is directly on the road so quite noisy at times. There weren't enough kitchen chairs for all of the occupants to sit at the kitchen table nor really enough space in the living room for all 7 of us to sit comfortably. No shampoo in the bathrooms. There were DVDs but no DVD player. Could use a few more bowls in the kitchen. There was a lot of noise heard through the wall of the adjoining property which made it difficult for some of us to sleep. We had brought a jigsaw puzzle with us but there was nowhere to place it.

  Beautiful and very spacious cottage. The photos don’t do the size of the cottage justice. Very well equipped kitchen, there wasn’t anything they didn’t have and a lovely size. All bedrooms were fabulous especially the super large one and beds were comfortable. Log fire was lovely to relax in front of. Great selection of games and books and the added bonus of the pool table went down great with everyone. The only thing to be mindful of is the entrance to the driveway which is narrow, I think you’d struggle to get a Range Rover in there. Beaches nearby, supermarket not too far but do need a car to get about. Host was really responsive to any messages and helpful with information about the area. We were a party of 4 adults, 5 older teenagers and there was plenty of space. Highly recommend. I also think you could add a hot tub with the space you have but I know the running costs are expensive.

  Issue reported to Sykes when we arrived.

  TV was broken. No action was taken during our stay. Overall the property was lovely but a few things let it down. The toilet seat in the main bathroom was broken, we all have bruises on our legs from it. There was a lack of towels for 6 people staying. No welcome pack in the kitchen, had to go and buy tea towels, washing up liquid etc… Window in the sitting room did not close properly allowing draft and lots of noise into the room! Rubbish collections were complicated and was not taken due to rubbish not being placed into black bags which again had not been provided. Cottage is in a great location and could be an amazing place to stay with a few little touches, kitchen was well equipped but some instructions for the appliances wouldn’t go amiss and beds and sofas were comfortable.

  Wyndham is a well proportioned, well equipped character holiday home. The 2 fridges, 2 ovens and 2 dishwashers made it very suitable for a big family Christmas, although remember to bring all basic consumable supplies with you. Or there's a co-op a few minutes walk away. Our family loved the cosy lounge with log burner, & spacious kitchen & dining room. Someone with limited mobility might find the stairs daunting.The bedrooms are roomy, although the showers are compact, and create condensation. Individual towel rails in each room worked well. We needed to contact the property manager about a heating timer issue; we found this service accessible and helpful. Parking directly outside is limited, but we were always able to park 1 car safely opposite the house.
