What our customers say about their holidays

  Absolutely brilliant. <br />Marina Lodge is a beautiful house with the most fabulous views - we just loved it. I stayed with my elderly mother and two teenage sons, and all of us were so sorry to leave. A very convenient place to stay - the parking permit was brilliant - you can easily not use your car at all during your holiday, as ferries, boats trains and buses are right on the doorstep. The house is very accommodating with everything on hand, comfortable and convenient. It was very helpfull to be able to have the main bedroom bed converted to twin beds for my Mother and I. My sons loved their double rooms too. ( Sadly the wifi did not work, but I believe this is temporary) The only problem was the window would not open in the smallest bedroom - but it was not hot when we stayed, so this did not pose too great a difficulty for us. Blue River Cottages were excellent too - very efficient throughout the booking process and extremely welcoming when we visited them in their Dartmouth offices.

  Gull lodge, lovely setting , close to many places to visit.

  Was cosy with 5 guests although not a huge issue. Visited in summer holidays so paid a high fee for the stay, bin was already full under the sink and could have done with a better clean but main issue was the sliding door on the front of the lodge was not working. Handle was partly cracked so I guess a previous guest has tried hard to open the door too. Obviously this door opening onto the patio area is a main feature of these lodges so was quite a disappointment especially at the prices charged. We couldn’t open it more than a couple of inches at a struggle. Moved the table form the front around the side nearer the other door so we could sit and eat outside. Expect better. Sure it’s an easy fix. The fixtures and fittings should be in working order. Wouldn’t hurt for somone to smarten the garden area up a bit and deal with weeds growing through the access track. With circa 50k of income over the 6 weeks holiday from the lodges non of the above should be any issue to deal with.

  We loved our stay, had no major problems but listing could do with changing slightly.

  It says you can use own Netflix's but there's no smart TV so very limited to tv programs if like us your back on an evening due to kids. The main bed could do with being changed as it's very worn on one side but still comfortable. There was still crumbs on side by toaster and some on floor but wasn't a massive issue. It stated a welcome pack but we didn't have one and no information of anything around the local area. It could do with a few touch ups like the decking but again not a issue. The washer dryer was great and really useful, the view and quietness was amazing and loved watching the wild deer. We enjoyed walks around the lake. We would definitely come back again but I think for what you get the pricing is abit too high for other places we've stayed around the area that have been above expectations so maybe something to look at and even advertise elsewhere to get extra bookings so others don't miss out on this lovely find. Thankyou for having us we will be back

  Overall a good place to stay near Dartmouth, ideal for the ferry and links to the wider area. Two great pubs, Marina and steam train nearby. Place was clean, 3 Decent size rooms and well equipped. Letting agents very good. Few negatives: Balconies needed a good varnish, new furniture and balcony glass cleaned, good feature for amazing views but didn't feel i could use it. Shame really. Parking is very limited, but marina car park £10 for 24 hours and a 5 minute walk away. 2 keys would of been useful. Be careful with the lower Balcony, goes onto a flat roof with a 40 foot drop off. There are gaps in the balcony sides and below the glass for a small dog to escape, our chihuahua ended up stuck in the guttering and needed rescuing, just be cautious with small dogs and children. Enjoyed my two weeks here that's the main thing.

  The booking was easy and the staff were very helpful online.

  The Holiday property was spacious, very clean and tidy. It had all the mod cons and was stylish. It also had a lovely log burner. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were really comfy. The bedding was very fresh. There was plenty of room to put your belongings away. We were given robes and slippers. We had a food parcel to start us off, which was a really nice touch. The hot tub area was private, was checked daily and was very clean. The separate barbecue area was spacious, had plush seating and a place to put your disposable barbecue. The area was clean, maintained and the staff were really friendly. All in all this was the best holiday property we’ve ever stayed in. We will defo be using Sykes Cottages again and would defo stay at this venue again. Thank you.
