What our customers say about their holidays

  The Annexe itself was left clean for our arrival and the owner is quite approachable if you need to call him for anything.

  What we did not know was that within 50 yards of the bedroom window is a church tower clock that chimes loudly on the quarter hours with additional gongs on the hour all day and all night long, this could be disturbing for light sleepers as it was for me, little sleep for two weeks. The Annexe stands on a very busy main road, the living room window is right beside the road and the bedroom window is about 2 yards from it, so there’s constant noisy passing traffic all day, starting around 4.30 am and going on until well after midnight. The Annexe does not have a fenced off area should you be taking a dog with you. The Annexe is the only holiday let situated within a busy courtyard of six or seven other properties. Each property has its own parking space outside the front door as has The Annexe. Should you want to sit outside then you’d be sitting on this courtyard and really it’s more of a car park, what with residents coming and going, their visitors and the noisy main road within yards, we didn’t feel comfortable enough to sit out for the two weeks we were there and it was beautiful weather too. During our two weeks there one household was having what was described as “relationship difficulties” and given that their front door is only about 6 yards from the bedroom windows of The Annexe, their behaviours, language, noise level and intimidation towards us when we asked them to quieten down was not what we had paid the owner for ! This Sykes experience was by far the worst we have ever encountered and we left, after 2 weeks, feeling exhausted and very disappointed.

  We were concerned when we arrived at just how small the bungalow was, especially as we were staying for 4 weeks.

  We couldn't however have been more wrong. The bungalow was superbly equipped, even a pair of kitchen scales and an electric whisk! It was warm and cosy with a lovely comfy bed. The washing and drying facilities were no bother being located in a different building as so near by. Anthony was very pleasant and I'm sure if there had been any issues he would have been straight on them! It was lovely to find tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits supplied, and there were even 4 toilet rolls and toiletries as well as lots of extras in the kitchen which we just did not expect. The DVDs were a welcome bonus with the weather being so grotty, but when we did go out we found lots of lovely places to visit; the dog loved the beaches! We found people in the village very friendly, and enjoyed the hostelry in the White Hart, as well as enjoying a superb meal in the Windmill Restaurant. The only thing that wasn't supplied was any bakeware, so we just bought a little roasting tin in the pound shop and left it behind for the next occupant! There is really nothing negative to say at all and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The only thing the bungalow would benefit from would be some draught excluder around the front door as it was a little draughty during the high winds, but that is in no way a complaint!

  We had a lovely two night stay in the Holly daze chalet.

  Although a small chalet it had everything we needed and could have easily stopped a full week. It had many items you don’t normally get in a holiday home, lots of kitchen items and even a slow cooker in the cupboard! We loved the seaside decorations, it made it feel cozy and homely. Beds were comfy and the bathroom modern and clean. The shed with washing machine had loads of space if stopping for longer. A few things to note is there isn’t WiFi, so be aware of this as we struggled to get any internet thought our phones data. You’ll also need to bring your own towels, which we didn’t have an issue with. Another note is the location of the chalet, it is directly in front of the park entrance and the car park is used by people going to the cafe/chip shop so isn’t the quietest and we struggled to use the terrace with our nervous dog as she couldn’t settle. Although we didn’t have any issues with loud music and it was quiet after 10pm. This might not be an issue for people who don’t have dogs with them. Altogether we would definitely recommend this lovely, cozy chalet. Thank you for having us.

  In Dec'23 'Alan' commented: "hot water system needs looking at as struggled to get hot water through but generally overall was ok.

  " The owner replied: "Thank you for the feedback this will help us move forward on whats needed as we built our holiday home." - June '24 hot water STILL Needs looking at. Furniture uncomfortable and too low. Better off sitting on the floor. Windows dirty. Decking slippery when wet - very slippery. I almost slipped once but I'd learned my lesson from one of my dogs who did slip. He pulled out a paw nail and cracked another and I took extra special care. I guess the owner will have this looked at too, just like the hot water. I'll never know, I won't be back. I'll pitch a tent in the back garden first. Because of the dog's injury we left half-way through the holiday. Couldn't get him into the car. Couldn't get him out of the car, he was in too much pain. As to the area - a dump. Great if you like to spend your time boozing or playing bingo. But to take the dogs out... Hell will probably freeze over before the beach gets a Blue Flag. I could go on but I think prospective guests will get the message. BTW, could never find an owner's representative.

  Fantastic cleanliness throughout this property.

  Great heating which was important in October! Very economical heating in the lounge which spread warmth to all rooms easily. Our two large dogs coped well with the property which has a six ft fully fenced and secure outside area. It's a bit of a faff getting stuff into the house because of the parking and some furniture is a little tired after the summer season hence 4stars not 5,but really these are minor things. The electric meter was extremely well fed on arrival and despite us using the shower and heating a good deal, usage was minimal. Fantastic location for the beach Also if you need a secure dog area there's a amazing place called Huttoft Hounds a few miles away from the chalet. This is a bonus for dog owners as you can book online and it's worth a visit. It was a shame there was no Internet and phone data was non existent too which meant planning for things was difficult. We had a lovely time though and would recommend this as a base to work from.
