What our customers say about their holidays

  Photos deceiving, the whole place is very tired, scum ring in bath, leaking shower, one broken bed, but as a party of 3 this wasn’t an issue for us, one kitchen door hanging, looks and feels internally like a caravan/chalet.

  Front door is accessed via tradesman entry, around the back and uninviting. Sadly the only bit worth the price was the size. Very generous proportions. Shame we could hear the neighbour every time he went for a pee, their bathroom was next to our lounge/diner, and the walls are thin. It had a good layout once inside, and had it not been dated and worn would have been super, bedrooms were generous, and the linen was spotless, lounge furniture very dated, I’d say 80’s to 90’’s, but was serviceable, one of the double patio doors in the lounge couldn’t be opened (would have been lovely to bring the outside in) it looked as if the lock had been fused somehow and so permanently locked shut. They could also have benefitted from a clean on the inside. The decking is super tired and one of the planks was loose (potential trip hazard) also one of the posts in the decking fence was missing. The decking furniture also very worn and tired, would have been lovely to sit out but no umbrellas or shade at all so the patio was not used by us. We had some rain one day and next morning found stones from the 20’ ish wall on the alleyway pavement. Such a shame the property isn’t maintained better. Lastly we were happy to see the tennis lawn, sadly the ground is dangerously uneven, with a hole on one side. I fell quite hard. Excellent cooker, washer, microwave. Good sized kitchen, well equipped, but a few wooden spoons would be good, my adult sons bought men sized glasses and breakfast dish ,their choice, and left them there for the next party. I feel this property has huge potential and just needs tlc and updating in parts. Would I book again , only if updated and repaired. Currently in my opinion not worth the money.

  The property is extremely run down, the sofas are filthy, I had to cover them with blankets from our cars.

  I was disgusted with them and there was no way my grandchildren were going to sit/lay on them uncovered. The patio doors were broken despite being reported a year earlier the carpets were dirty with very unpleasant looking stains, the balustrade on the balcony was broken in 2 places, just grateful I didn’t have a baby/toddler with us that could of fallen through and had an accident then this would have been a completely different ball game. There were spiders everywhere when we arrived some dead some alive. We encountered a slug in the kitchen and slime on the kitchen carpet. The beds were very comfortable however when we stripped them on leaving we realised 2 of the quilts were very old, one pillow had 8 pillowcases on it, plus a dead spider was under one of the sheets that had clearly been there for some time. There was no bulb in the outside light as you approached the entrance and as the paving slabs are so uneven and dangerous this was a must. The Wi-Fi was only available in one part of the lounge and I feel we were sharing with the people in the property joined onto ours. The outside patio furniture was rickety and needs to be updated ,as one chair had a broken slat which did give way while in use, there is no patio lighting ,there is a bare wire hanging out above the entrance door , they claim there is parking for 2 cars and that is correct however the person in the adjoining property had their car charging cable plugged in causing a restriction of access.I am very surprised this property is on your website as it is definitely not up-to your usual standard . We do have picture evidence to back all of this up.

  I have only said met expectations because the owner contacted me before we left home to advise towels are not supplied as stated in the details.

  The wood burner is not a wood burner, it's an electric imitation. General cleanliness was not up to scratch, lots of hair on the floor of the toilet upstairs, had to wash most utensils before use as they appeared grubby, and the plastic dish drier on the draining board was very soiled, had to put it through the dishwasher before use. Other than that a general dusting would not have gone a miss. Availability of a hoover would be good. Welcome pack ?, a bottle of red wine ?, most other places we have stayed at with Sykes have boasted a personal hand written note with general information and where to find things + a loaf of bread, orange juice etc, and a couple of other bits and bobs. However, a pleasant property in what we found to be a quiet location and good base for days out of which we had plenty.

  Great location.

  Cleaner than expected after reading previous reviews but still room for improvement as there were dirty tissues and dirt under the beds which I have reported to the owner. Beds comfortable. Plenty of games provided which gave us evening entertainment. Despite saying "Ample off road parking" there was only space for one car and had to park the other one wherever we could find a space, sometimes around the corner. The garden furniture was ideal for eating outside or just chilling after spending long days exploring the island. Grass area may not be suitable if you have small children as it is a lot higher than the patio and is accessed by a plastic step. Considering the price paid some kitchen utensils and bedroom furniture could do with updating otherwise okay. Had a good holiday with the family.

  Spacious property with off road parking but that's as good as it got , very run down area.

  The property could do with some serious TLC. Tatty scuffed paint work which hasn't had a lick of paint for some time, ingrained dirt ,no extractor or window in upstairs toilet. On arrival we kept getting white hair on our feet from downstairs so had to hoover. Garden was run down , didn't use it as over looked from all sides . Nieghbour on right had conservatory full of old mattresses which was the view from the seating area. Was going to put our bikes in the shed but it was full of stuff and locked. Seems like a rush job to rent out and property from house shoved in shed. Duvet covers clean but stained.Misleading photos on line. Quite a lot of money for us as a family. Photo evidence if needed. Still enjoyed the Isle of wight as a holiday destination , beautiful beaches and countryside.
