What our customers say about their holidays

• Rachel - Verified booking

  From the photos it looked like a typical mass market holiday challet and we expected that it would be fine, clean and functional and perfectly adequate for a short break as a base to tour.

  When we arrived the site strongly marketed it as a luxury holiday home for a disabled person. That changed our expectations and left us feeling utterly annoyed as it was basic, not that well maintained, pretty impracactical and not in any way luxury and not suitable for a person with a disability except that it was on one level. However, when I re read Sykes' property description on my return home, it was accurate and had only given 3 stars which was fair. It was very attractively set in a private dip in the wooded valley. We enjoyed sitting out in the evening, alhtough it was next to an unmaintained area of weeds and deteriorating decking and damaged steps up to the lodge. The beds were comfortable and the bedding clean and fresh, the fabrics were nice in the unit and it was nice to be able to order food if we wanted it. Other than that it was not great. The kitchen provision was very basic and minimal, with a low powered microwave, cracked ceramic hob, feeble extractor and all quite cramped, especially the dining room table. The toilet was not pleasant being directly off the living room and facing the door and the floor got dirtly easily and was not cleanable. There were insufficinet surfaces to put toiletries on or have contact lens or toothbrushing facilities on hand, few places for 3 people to hang wet towels and the fittings were a bit rusty. There was one bin and no provision for recycling in the cabin. We only found out that there was recycling as we were leaving by which point it was too late. The guest information was not that usefull it was more of a marketing pack for luxury accommodation. It would have been helpful to have a sweeping brush to get rid of the sand inevitably picked up from being on the beach. My daughter got a splinter from playing in the playground as child friendly bark had not been used and the windows of a cabin running along the path opened out onto the path a head height of my daughter and a risk for passers by to walk into. My husband mislaid his keys and asked reception to lock the cabin for us whilst we were away that day. They said they would but forgot and it was unlocked when we returned at the end of the day. We also did not have hot water one of the days. It was definatley not quality - basic equipment, small TV's, cheap fittings, neglected bathroom, no wi-fi except a the bar etc and not for a disabled person who having wheeled themselves in would have to navigate oddly shaped carpet edges then would not be able to reach the pegs to hang their coat, no seating to use the shower and good luck with the WC! - not the welcome I would want if I were a wheelchair user. These comments are only applicable to the owner though as Sykes do not say that it is luxury and do not say it is for a disabled person.

  We spent a relaxing week in this lovely cottage. The living space is homely, the sofas and beds comfortable and everything was clean and welcoming. Internet was good enough for us to watch Netflix etc., which the children (young teens) were happy about! The kitchen was well equipped with all the essentials. The location is great: a couple of minutes walk from a decent pub (food only served at weekends, but we had a nice Sunday roast), close to a little shop and walking distance (25mins) from beaches. The pizza van parked outside the pub on Thursdays was an added bonus. The village is a restful, pretty place; we really loved the peace and birdsong. We were sorry not to be able to sit in the garden, which is lovely (it was a bit cold and rainy in April), but still enjoyed the views from the windows. We had some lovely walks on the beaches and on Exmoor, and it was lovely coming back to a cosy, comfortable cottage.

  Court Cottage was wonderful. We went in November for a wet and windy week but still were able to go for plenty of interesting walks and trips in the area and come back to a cosy fire and cottage. The garden was lovely though we didn't really spend any time out there but in the spring / summer it must be fantastic. Watersmeet nearby was a lovely walk up the hill and back along the river, we also visited Heddon Valley and Lynton & Lynmouth. The coastal walk along from Mortehoe is incredible as is the Valley of the Rocks. The cottage kitchen was well equipped as we like to cook on holiday, plus the welcome basket was amazing, especially the bread mix so we could make rolls for soup on a wet day in. We were also incredibly lucky that the Globe had re-opened the week before we came. The local post office and village shop was also great. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Property was very well equipped to feel like home from home. Very clean and well kept. Hot tub was the cleanest we have ever had on a holiday. Gardens secure and well maintained. Host was extremely helpful and friendly. The 8ft gap in to the car parking area looks smaller than actually is but plenty of room to park and turn the car around even when both cottages are in use. I would recommend this property and location to anybody looking to explore the coast, lots of places to visit. If you book I also recommend the broom sculpture gardens, well worth a visit and dogs and young children are safe to run freely. Views are spectacular. One of the best uk holidays I have had

  The Croft is a beautiful, well equipped holiday home just a ten minute walk from Ilfracombe Harbour. The house had everything we needed and there was more than enough space for our family (7 adults and our dog). The kitchen is quite small compared to the other rooms but it was very well equipped. Parking was a bit of a challenge as it's all on street in the area and there are a lot of vehicles around. But we always manged to squeeze in somewhere. The very generous welcome gifts were much appreciated - tea, coffee, sugar, wine, fresh flowers, cake and biscuits! We had a fantastic family holiday in The Croft and would recommend it without hesitation.
