What our customers say about their holidays

• Debra - Verified booking

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, mainly because of the great weather and the fantastic location with sea view.

  The bed was extremely comfortable. There were, however, a number of things that would have made the holiday better. Firstly, the cooker, the handles of the oven door are broken off and just barely hanging there. There is no grill rack on the grill pan, which is a basic necessity. A couple of chips in a plate and a cup. The fridge has shelves missing. But a suggestion, which would make such a massive difference to the enjoyment of the holiday would be a partition between the property and the property next to it, instead of having to share a patio with strangers. The property states 'a romantic' break for couples. This is so not a romantic situation having to overhear other people's conversations, speak quietly so they can't hear your conversations, and having to sit outside eating alongside strangers. As far as we were concerned this was a massive drawback and would probably deter us from booking again.

  This was an amazing location and with a few changes the cottage would be too.

  The furniture is very dated and cutlery etc is cheap quality and not appealing. The dining table was really dirty and the scatter cushions were smelly and needed a good wash. There were 5 cheap plastic coat hangers but none to hang trousers. The bottom drawer of the wardrobe was broken (but there was plenty of other cupboard space. The bathroom was very dated and smelled foisty...we had to keep the heater on. The bed was really comfortable and the bedding immaculately The patio is shared with next door so absolutely no privacy if this is what you want. The kitchen window doesn't close properly and you hear every conversation outside (which means they can also hear you) It is also worth noting that towels and a hairdryer are not provided. With a bit updating it would be fabulous.

  Location is superb and I would stay there again for that reason alone.

  However, the apartment is in serious need of updating, especially the cooker and the fridge. Fridge has one and a half shelves only with no door shelves and the handles on the oven are hanging off and it is very old. Additionally the mattress is extremely uncomfortable, which I had read before and clearly hasn't been sorted. Thank goodness I took the airbed. Finally the sofa needs a deep clean as it smells. This apartment could be much improved if a little money was spent on it. The tv was also very small. I did wonder if the cafe next door would be intrusive, but it wasn't, and the food was surprisingly good. I had a beautifully cooked piece of seabass. I would use again but the experience could be improved significantly if the owners would take the comments on board

  Property requires a refurbishment and a deep clean, dead flies on inside windows and dirty inside and outside, oven only has one shelf and oven handle are insecure and hanging down all controls dirty.

  Fridge only has one shelf and all door pockets for drinks ect missing fridge also constantly wet inside. centre ceiling light insecure and broken. All utensils are cheap and of poor quality, Property dirty in all places and made you feel uncomfortable. The location is unbeatable and i feel the owner relies on this for future bookings. Its a shame these holiday lets seem worse each time we visit. Sykes should bring these matters to the owners attention and ensure things are rectified if they keep advertising and rating the , property. this is not the first time we have advised on review.

  As this was a winter let we were surprised that the accommodation was cold on our arrival.

  However, an additional heater was quickly found. The bathroom was unheated, and we suggest that a heated towel rail would have made all the difference. The mattress was very uncomfortable, that and the pillows need replacing. The accommodation looked very tired, two light fittings not working, and cobwebs on light fittings The television was too small for the room, difficult to read text and not enough volume.. On the positive side there was plenty of hot water.
