What our customers say about their holidays
Sue - Verified booking
We've visited several times before and absolutely love Watersplash - it's a perfect retreat with bags of character even when the weather lets us down, and the location is idyllic.
But there were issues on this occasion. We'd complained before about the razor sharp edges on the drawer handles especially in the kitchen after slicing my finger on one last year, but no-one has done anything about it. The quality of washing up by previous occupants was poor - dirty saucepans (I had to rush out to buy scouring pads) and food stuck to cutlery and plates and there was an unpleasant smell in the kitchen which took days to clear. The bin bags had all bio-degraded so we had an issue putting out the rubbish. The garden furniture, which was broken and dangerous last year, has been removed but not replaced. So no chance of breakfast at the garden table. The decking was terribly slippery when it rained and the garden needs a tidy up. We love the cottage and feel very sad when standards start to slip. It's not at all cheap (especially as only 2 of us) and I stress that these are small issues but do need attention. We don't want to complain when we're on holiday - it sours something we've been looking forward to for so long but hope that polite feedback will now be acted on. If photos show garden furniture it should be available, even in March. On the plus side, cleaning was generally to a high standard - we met the cleaner and she was delightful - a credit to the company. The bedroom is super-comfortable and the heating (in a very cold wet week) was blissfully reliable. So, in spite of a few gripes, a great little place to stay.

The actual property itself was good, very sweet.
What let it down was the cleanliness. We are aware itâs a dog friendly property which our dog came down for the second half of the holiday. What you donât expect is to sit on the floor with our baby to realise the rugs and sofas were thick with dog hair. The property was dusty with cobwebs all down the backs of the bedroom units. There were hairs in the Bath, sink and the shower. What made it worse is that the owner came to see us, realised we had a dog (it was a last minute thing my parent in laws came down for the second half) and proceeded to tell us we needed to pay £30 charge. I explained how we had to get the hoover out as it wasnât cleaned before, to be told not worry on the charge as their hoover broke while cleaning before we arrived. To then get a call when we were back to say we didnât leave it in an adequate state. Even though we washed and put every piece of cutlery away, stripped the beds like we were asked to (which when paying for them to clean it I donât see why we should have to) and folded all the duvets up neatly. So would I recommend this place? No is the short answer, and if you do make sure you take photos of how you leave it as we felt she was very sneaky and actually embarrassed we told her how bad it was. The lady also baked us a cake for arrival and the irony is the joke of the holiday was it was a nice touch but would of been better to have a clean property!!

On arrival we were met with a damp smell in the living room, settee felt damp, also didnât look the cleanest or comfiest and arm covers were dirty.
You could see the damp in the wall leading to the kitchen. Itâs a good job weather was beautiful and we spent most of our time out, the living room furniture didnât really cater for 4 people to sit in comfort!. The kitchen was in need of a face lift, dishwasher was dirty and rusty, we had to wash everything before we could use it. The garden needed attention with some dog poo left behind. We found cobwebs on the kitchen walls above the cooker and between the dresser and cupboard. The blind in one of the bedrooms had actually come down and was left on the windowsill, Lyme Bay offered to come and put it back up but as we were there for only 3 days we had our time planned and didnât want to have to wait in for them to do it. Upstairs was acceptable our double bedroom had a nice comfy bed although Iâm not sure if the bedding was supposed to be white as they looked discoloured. The photos were misleading on the website as the property looks pristine in them, though in reality this isnât the case, website definitely needs updating. Disappointed that we didnât receive a call back from Lyme Bay management after our concerns had been highlighted, we have booked numerous times with this company and never had a problem before.

Have been using Sykes for a good couple of years now and have recommended them to many people.
Although the house was in a great location and was modern and well equipped, it seemed like it was a bit unloved the carpets had stains on and the bathroom cabinet and towel racks were rusted the toilet also smelt and was brown like it needed bleaching . The curtains in the front bedroom were hanging by threads to the rail so we left them shut rather than open and closing each day. The fridge wasnât very good either and the food I bought with us for breakfast and lunches went in the bin by Tuesday along with the dogs food. The cleaning wasnât great down stairs either the kitchen floor had crumbs on it and the floors looked like they needed mopping ( I would have done this myself but there was no mop ). The down stairs toilet hadnât been flushed either. All in all very disappointing after the beautiful property we stayed in last year we thought it would be of the same standard. I would be reluctant to book this property again.

The property was nice but it could do with a good dusting.
Especially behind the cupboards in the sitting room. I had to get the hoover out and use the nozzle to suck up all the cobwebs behind the cupboards. Also around the pictures and I had to dust the electric heaters. My son bumped his head on the kitchen door ways, above the bath, the archway upstairs and the bedroom with the step. There are no âmind your headâ signs. The uneven floor was not mentioned or I missed it in the description. But my granddaughter found it difficult going up and down the large steps. Shes only 18 months, and I was so worried sheâd fall and crack her head on the tiled floor. The rubber seal in the washing machine was black with mould when I wiped it because it was smelling. Talking of smells, the cottage on entering smells damp. And the porch could do with a clean and lick of paint because thatâs your first impression. I have pictures to go with my feedback. Thank you
