What our customers say about their holidays

  Sadly wouldn’t recommend Sykes as a holiday company as they cancelled my booking on the Friday before I was due to arrive on the Monday, hence the last-minute booking of P5 Whitfield.

  Sykes were a nightmare to get hold of on the phone and the alternative recommendations they emailed me were in Wales and Scotland, despite P5 Whitfield and others still being available. A stressful time! P5 Whitfield itself was easy to find and there was good communication from the owners in regard to arrival. The house was warm when we checked in which was very welcome. The kitchen was well equipped for basic cooking, although a number of pieces of crockery felt sticky and maybe weren’t completely clean. The accommodation was comfortable enough but did feel a little tired in places - frayed carpets, bed frames coming undone, and the mattresses felt as though they could do with an upgrade. The en-suite shower room was unusable for the first day or so as it was smelling rather unpleasant! The door had to kept closed to prevent the smell from impacting the bedroom too much. I alerted maintenance and they came in to the property on the second day and the smell did improve for a couple of days, but by the final evening it had reverted to being rather pungent again. The kitchen sink was also very slow to drain as the week went on and also began to smell a little, so potentially there is a bigger drains issue going on. All in all though this was a convenient place to stay for exploring the island and especially easy to walk into Yarmouth. The Needles are close by, as are lovely walks and views around the south of the island. We also hired bikes and enjoyed a gentle cycle with lots of wildlife spots, including birds of prey. An enjoyable week overall and I would stay again.

  The arrangements were organised very well and we met Mr Brady at the allotted time.

  The cottage was comfortable for the two of us, it would have suited a couple and a child, but I think four people would have struggled. We did not cook during our stay, but the kitchen equipment seemed to be satisfactory, although it would be very useful to have a small freezer, even just for making ice within the fridge. A bit more shelving space in the bathroom and a larger shower head would also be useful. But the very hot water was ideal. We used the cafe next door for coffee/tea/Sunday lunch - a roast carvery and for a breakfast. All very good. The walk into Yarmouth is not far, which again is a bonus. There is a small stretch of beach that is slightly difficult to walk on due to the stones and if walking at night, you do need a torch. All in all we had a very enjoyable week and this was an ideal quiet base to get out and about to see the Island.

  The apartment was good for us.

  We wanted a quiet place to recharge our batteries after three years of stress. It was a comfortable base and the sound of the sea on the beach at night and when we woke up made it a tranquil and peaceful place to stay. We had everything we needed and when we did have a problem the owner dealt with it immediately and was very understanding and friendly. Although we didn't bring dogs with us we loved the fact that dogs were made so welcome across the Island and in the Boathouse apartments. For a small island there is so much to see and do. This is our fourth stay on the island but the first time without our children, what a revelation there is so much for grown ups too! We will be coming back soon.

  Fabulous location, Great apartments, Stone throws to Beach which is great.

  . Dog loved it there , we loved it there.. Owner more than helpful and friendly.. Cleaning ladies really nice too. Cafe next door and staff fab.. Would highly recommend,. Personally would prefer a sofa which i am able to lie down on to rest. So for me the only downfall was uncomfortable sofa. Decking was great to sit out on and watch the sea, we actually saw a seal swim by! adding to the delight of our stay. Was pleasantly surprised could not hear others through walls. Would definitely stay there again for the peace and tranquility.
