What our customers say about their holidays
Daniel - Verified booking
The location of this property is fantastic, there is a 'private' route to the beach but this wasn't the easiest of routes so we just walk a couple of minutes down the road and used the access from The Seagull car park.
Brean Leisure Park and Splash Park are an easy walk in the other direction and there are a number of places to eat, we only used the car to go shopping and for a few longer visits. Everything inside the property was not great, which was a real shame. It was dirty, covered in dust and other 'things'. The list below has been provided to Sykes with photographs but looking at other reviews on here and other Trip based Advisor websites we are not the first to raise them. No blind in the bathroom - the fixings are rusting away on the wall, but no blind (not great when a painters head appears a foot away from the window!) Black mold on the shower curtain (still) A shower pole that falls on you if you pull the shower curtain to hard A large gap between the end of the bath and the wall - be careful with what you place on the end of the bath A very 'sticky' kitchen - we made a clean bit on the top of the fire blanket holder, Rusty kitchen equipment - cheese grater, toaster, microwave Very, very, very hot water - please BE CAREFUL The top of both wardrobes thick with dust - you don't want to store anything up there Dental floss stick, finger nail and used tissue found in the additional bedding under the bed settee (nice!) The lounge fan blades thick with black dust - we didn't dare turn it on Not the most secure of front doors Considering you are currently being asked to check in later at the moment, so additional cleaning can be completed I imagine, I have no idea what this additional time is being used for. Oh and one last thing - don't look at the double mattress until you are leaving......its probably for the best. The only thing that was sorted was when the blocked drainage caused the sink to overflow with water from the washing machine that then leaked into the apartment downstairs. Yes, we did raise all of these issues with Sykes but for the second week of our fortnight break nothing was sorted. What really made it was when people attended to fix the plumbing issue (including the owner) but that was all that was done. The floss, finger nail and tissue remained in situ! I really, really hope that these things are addressed as it could be a great holiday let.

The house was OK.
Clean and basic facilities. It was dingy and claustrophobic - one window at the front obscured by an overgrown bush, and one at the back in the kitchen. No windows up stairs, only roof lights. The place welcomes pets (we don't have any), but had a bit of a musty smell of wet dog. There's shelves in the living room well stocked with books etc, but this gave the impression of being cluttered. There's lots of pictures on the walls at odd places, looking behind these cover dents/marks in the wall. No usable outside space - There was a back garden but no access to it - the only access being via the side and back of the row of properties, which was not at all practical. There's a bench at the front facing an overgrown bush and overgrown brambles. Facilities were basic - no washing machine or dish washer. Parking wasn't ideal. There are spaces more or less in front of the property which is fine, if they are available. More than once these were all taken and we had to park at the other end of the site (by the refuse/recycling bins). There is a hotel on the side with restaurant and pool. We didn't use these facilities, the weather wasn't quite good enough for the outside pool and there are plenty of nice restaurants in the area to try. Charmouth, Lyme Regis, and the Jurassic coast is a lovely area. If you're loking for somewhere basic, then this is fine. Would we recommend it, not really, unfortunately, I am sure there are better properties for the price to rent in the area.

Top Hill Farm Cottage is in a beautiful location and the inside has been presented in a modern way.
We booked having looked at the photographs on the website but I feel I must warn others that these photos are not up to date and that the presentation and cleanliness of the property is not accurately represented. The outside area especially was extremely disappointing. The hot tub was a health hazard with dirty water, green algae around and filters covered in slime- absolutely incapable of filtering anything. The lid of the hot tub is broken so it lets in rain water. The outside furniture is very tired and the cushions are filthy. There were broken plant pots and old broken furniture left around. The fire pit had not been cleared nor the grass mown as shown in the photographs. The view from the bedroom is countryside but also the building site next door. I take no pleasure in writing this review but I feel compelled to as in its current state it will leave others feeling as bitterly disappointed as we were. I have contacted the owner directly but he hasnât responded. He has to accept that he needs support to maintain the âoutstandingâ grade of his property. It is not âoutstandingâ currently so please book with caution. Additionally, Sykes are impossible to communicate with if you do have a problem. Please read your booking conditions as it seems they have no interest in quality control and ensuring their properties are accurately represented on their website. Who knows what you could arrive at.

Vaughan - Verified booking
The position was of the flat was great with parking right outside but getting in and out of the flat was a real nightmare.
The key to the main door was very difficult to unlock. Sometimes it would take over 10 minutes to get in. Then the security keypad on the flat door had to be tackled. It was almost impossible to see the keypad due to it being so dark on the landing, even wearing my reading glasses and even on the rare occasions the light was on. If I hadn't had my son with me I wouldn't have been able to get in at all. There is also a key to open a security gate to get to the beach and that was equally difficult to operate. It meant we were locked on the beach side one evening until someone passing was able to open it from the other side. There were plenty of towels and the flat was warm but could have been cleaner. In particular the utensils, plates, cutlery and cooker were in a disgusting state. We had to wash everything before using anything. The oven was so greasy that I didn't even bother with that. The DVD player was also on the blink and made a horrendous noise, too noisy to play and the sound bar wasn't even connected so we couldn't even increase the volume to compensate. The bathroom door squeaked loudly disturbing anyone trying to sleep. The chairs in the dining room also make a deafening noise on flooring. They could do with some rubber feet on bottom. I felt sorry for the people in the flat beneath us. Despite all this we had a good time but I wouldn't book this property again.

This detached little cottage has been really sensitively modernised, with cleverly warm and light-increasing touches.
Comfy, stylish, solid, spotlessly clean, good value. Many lovely walks and drives from here (v well-maintained public footpaths everywhere), genuine sense of peace, and we loved the view, hot tub and range of garden furniture. When the promised wood-burning stove gets added, it'll feel perfect in all weathers - although the heating looks adequate already. It's not within the (overcrowded) Peak District itself but still in a lovely landscape, and many attractions aren't far. I didn't want to come home. I could only quibble with a few tiny practical details: I'd've liked a few more mugs, one living-room lightbulb bright enough to let you read on the sofa, a bannister rail and soft surface at the bottom of the staircase (which is steep and narrow-stepped as in all genuine cottages - unsuited for mobility-impaired or small kids); a small dishwasher would be handier than the storage for 40 (!) bottles of wine. But the kitchen is well-equipped, and the walk-in shower is excellent (no bath btw). Didn't use the firepit or bbq, but great to have. If you're a dog owner do be aware: as the photos show, garden is shared and not enclosed, and sheep graze one field away, so a long lead might help. But your pup will love the walks here, and the furnishings are very practical. Two dog bowls were kindly left, but you'll want to bring your pup's own bed.
