What our customers say about their holidays

  It was an awful experience.

  From the listing information to the engagement from the Sykes cottages staffs and the host herself was nothing to talk about. Should I say we were treated awful because we are blacks or is it just their way of treating people. The cushions and blankets smells awful, the bar was dirty not clean, the room mattresses and sheets were awful and the worst of all the water supply is pumped. Therefore, you all can't have a shower at a go which means you have to take turns. And when we complained it was disastrous. Overall, it wasn't an holiday we went for it was a war. If not for the kids and the ferry that we've booked in advance we won't last days there. You know the feeling that your home is better than the holiday you paid a fortune for. That's how we felt and the host was like she rented the place cheap to us as if we were given some kind of discount. We paid the amount advertised on the website without any discount so how is it cheap?. To top it up it's in the middle of no where, literally nothing exciting for the kids to do.

  Location of house is lovely and the view that comes with it.

  We have been booking holiday homes for years and this house was the most dirty one we have ever stayed in. We had two 9 month old babies with us therefore we had to clean as soon as we went in. We assumed late check in was due to the house getting ready for us but there was cobwebs and spiders absolutely everywhere and such a horrible smell around the whole house. It could be a really good house it just needs some TLC. Kitchen utensils were filthy I had to clean everything including fan extractor which hadn't been cleaned in a long time and supplied with only one tea towel and a few bin bags. Not really appropriate for 8 adults. Overall not a bad stay however wouldn't return. Which is sad as this could have been a regular place for us to bring our kids growing up.

  Amazing location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and great views of the local surfers.

  Split level house with bedrooms and ground and upper floor. Living, dining, kitchen area on middle floor with plenty of Windows to take in the view. 3 toilets and 2 showers worked well for 10 people. Wood burner was out of order which was a bit disappointing as it was winter but there is gas heating so plenty of constant heat!! Only 1 slight complaint - downstairs bed linen in 1 room wasn't very clean and looked like it was really old and grubby and we changed it using another in the cupboard which wasn't very fresh. Overall we really enjoyed this house and would consider staying again! Thank you to Marion for her prompt arrival with the keys.

  It was THE best house we ever stayed in (and there are many).

  Spotless, roomy. They provided us with such generous amounts of toilet rolls , kitchen rolls, towels. Absolutely everything had generous amounts of all e.g. pots, pans, ware, glasses. We were so thrilled with the lovely roomy home. Please say a huge Thank You to Seamus and Dympna for us. We were doubly lucky with the fabulous weather we had too. A truly wonderful house. Would absolutely recommend it. Ronnie and Daphne Daunt

  Ideal Location for seeing seeing Donegal South.

  Few minutes drive into Bundoran with a Bus route going past the house if you don't want to drive. I had two 3 older teenagers with me and the house being split into three floors gave them privacy they needed. Love the living area and the view of the sea from the 1st floor. The only negative thing I would say is the some of the bedrooms needs better blinds curtains especially one of the bedrooms on the ground.
