What our customers say about their holidays

• Jeremy - Verified booking

  I have in recent years experienced two holiday cottages that failed to be described as advertised by Sykes.

  However this cottage exceeds all expectations. It was superb. It was brilliantly clean. (special thanks to the staff who clean the cottage!) The kitchen wanted for nothing, except perhaps a whisk! (But who uses a whisk when on holiday?) The furniture was comfortable to sit on and relax. Netflix was a welcome addition to the facilities. The beds were just right. We all slept well. The wet rooms were immaculate and very, very clean. There was sufficient cupboard space for clothes. Wooden hangers were in abundance. The scones and jam and cream were a lovely touch as were the treats for the dogs that accompanied our friends. The addition of a dog field was welcomed by our 4 legged fiends and they really enjoyed the freedom to run around. This house was located in an ideal position to access Cheddar,( although the Caves are at present closed the gorge is still worth a visit) Wookey Hole, Axbridge ( a little gem and worth and afternoon visit) Wells (the smallest city in England, but not small on attractions, lots more besides the Cathedral) Bristol, Bath, Street as well as the coastal towns of Weston- Super- Mare, Clevedon,( great Victorian Pier) and Burnham and all those in between. The owner was across the driveway and was accessible if required. This property has to be a jewel in the crown for Sykes. They should be rewarding this owner with as many bouquets as is possible. We will be returning when we revisit in the future. There are many places to visit.

  Thank you for the Welcome Pack it was amazing and filled with lots of local goodies.

  Sandpiper is in a very quiet area and due to it's elevated position the views are breathtaking over Lyme Regis with a beautiful sea view. Watching the sun sets at night from the living room, who needs a TV. Plenty of space to park 3 cars. Nice feeling when you first walk into Sandpiper, knew we were going to have a nice week, and we did. Lovely walks "down" into Lyme Regis but it is a steep walk "back" up to Sandpiper. The Welcome Folder does give you a choice of 3 walks into Lyme Regis and we did all 3. So many choices of where to sit, sun loungers for the garden and a patio set. Lovely to sit in the sunroom of a morning, lunch on the patio and evening meal on the balcony, all just perfect. Lots of books to read and games available to play. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and utility room. Lyme Regis is just a gorgeous town. We did a fossil walk with the museum, well worth it, lots of fun and found lots of fossils. Book before you go. Already recommended Sandpiper to 2 other families.

  We were greeted by the friendly owner Jane, who showed us around the property when we arrived.

  She lives on site as she runs the riding school on the grounds so she was on hand if we had any issues or needed any help. What a lovely cottage, adjacent to 3 other cottages situated on the same site. Its all very modern and tastefully decorated throughout. The kitchen/dining area had everything we needed, immaculately clean with comfortable furniture. TV has Netflix so that was a bonus for us. The bedroom had a comfortable bed with more than adequate storage with a shower room and toilet en suite which was amazing. There was a second twin bedded room with another separate shower and toilet which wasn't needed by us but was just as nice. An extra bonus for us was they had a separate fenced paddock for exercising our dog while we were there . A lovely quiet place to stay in Somerset, not too far from local shops and pubs. a great base for travelling out to the southern Cotswolds, the Quantocks, Glastonbury, Cheddar and Wells. Would highly recommend.

  Excellent cottage, very clean, all the appliances you need to make an easy break away.

  Complimentary milk, cake and tea bags lovely touch. Complimentary milk, cake and tea bags lovely touch. Very good size rooms en-suite as well as bathroom and even a washing machine. Only criticism is that on the website it quotes that the host will contact you via email with entry code, this didn’t happen and I had to message at 4 pm on the day of arrival and wait for a reply. Host meets you at the cottage which is a nice touch but would be better explained at time of booking to save any confusion . Overall excellent stay.

  This was a lovely house with absolutely everything we needed for a fantastic week in Anglesey.

  Benllech beach was really close by and a favourite with the family, but the location is perfect for exploring the island too. We visited Newborough, South Stack, Anglesey Riding Centre, Plas Newydd, Beaumaris and Trearddur Bay during our stay and never spend more than 45 minutes in the car. It was perfect for us. The property itself is lovely, well appointed and a pleasure to be in. We loved the open plan living area, the stylish bedrooms and the outdoor space, especially the hot tub. The owners have really thought about making this property a great place to stay. Things like the selection of board games for a rainy day, the non-slip matting outside, the washer dryer in the kitchen and even the heated towel rails in both bathrooms so towels could be easily dried after the hot tub made this a fab stay. We would highly recommend this property!
