  Such a beautiful property.

  Still looks exactly as the photos describe, immaculately clean. We arrived to a generous welcome hamper, milk in the fridge and some beautiful flowers which was such a lovely touch. Not listed on the property facilities but there is also a washing machine (might be worth updating the listing as could put people off). Surrounding location is very pretty and all you can hear as the sun comes up is the birds. The kids loved the games room and my youngest enjoyed the abundance of games and puzzles. Huge collection of DVDs if the weather isn’t on your side. The recommendations in the welcome book are well worth a visit. We went to Westward Ho! Sandymouth, Clovelly, Bude - all these beaches offer something different and magical. Make sure you check tide times! The vet in the village (just 4 mins away) is very helpful, our youngest pup cut her paws due to scrambling over rocks (bloody spaniels) so it was really handy to just call up and pop down and get them checked. The local spa has essentials and the staff are lovely. We had a very minor blip during our stay where on our last full day the boiler lost pressure so we were without hot water and heating for the day but the log burning fire solved the heating issue and I spoke to Giles who resolved the hot water by late afternoon and all was well. It’s a lovely cottage, beautiful location, with lovely responsive hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  When we arrived we noticed that the property wasn’t very clean.

  There is mould in the down stairs bedroom, cobwebs, the skirting boards were dirty and had not been cleaned. On the back of the bedroom doors it says fire door keep closed and they don’t close shut. I opened the dishwasher and the smell that came from there was so bad i was nearly sick. The crockery wasn’t very clean where it must of been put through the dishwasher it had left it all feeling all dirty like specks on. So we had to wash things up before we used them. When we arrived home i did complain about the above and was told I should of complained when i was there for the owner to rectify the problems. I wasn’t happy with the reply i got as we payed for the Holiday to get away and relax i we didn’t want people coming in to rectify what should of been done before we arrived. I did take photos to backup my evidence but Sykescottages said they were not going to offer any compensation as i should of complained when i was there. I will never go through sykescottages.co.uk again as they expected me to complain when i was there for it to be rectified when it should if been done before our arrival. There was more that I complained about but it seems that it’s all my fault as I didn’t report it when i was there.

  The best thing about The Beach Hut is its close proximity to the beach and easy stroll to town. The chalet is bright and cheery, was fairly clean and has the basics. The dishwasher and electric towel rail were a bonus. There are no books or games - probably a hangover from the pandemic - so bring your own if you'd like these. The property is fully fenced and has a lovely private patio at the back, surrounded by greenery. It had outdoor chairs and low tables but no normal height table to eat outdoors (as was pictured). We are not a big family but the bath towels were on the teeny side. There is a small washing line but we brought a longer one, which was well used. We would look to book again if prices stayed the same/dropped - otherwise a staycation in Croyde is becoming almost as expensive as going abroad. Loved the colourful wall art.

  This cottage was delightful everything anyone could wish for.

  So clean and well kept with beautiful well maintained gardens surrounding the cottage with beautiful views . It’s in an idyllic location and surrounded by beautiful countryside and wonderful wildlife. The cottage has been very tastefully decorated by the owners who have catered for everything you need to enjoy your stay. A lovely welcome pack awaited us from the owners who also met us on arrival and were so lovely. They had provided a cream tea, milk, beautiful flowers and doggy treats which was so very thoughtful of them and very much appreciated. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Our two dogs Ben and Teddy also thoroughly enjoyed their stay and were safe in the enclosed garden. Thank you so much . Christine and Steve xx

  A lovely, superbly appointed property.

  A great shower and excellent accommodation. A well appointed kitchen and dining area with a separate fridge and freezer. If you want a peaceful, relaxing holiday, this is the place to come. Our hosts, Ian and Ali, are lovely caring and knowledgeable couple, it was a delight to meet them. Set in the beautiful Heartlands country side, there is very little noise apart from the occasional aircraft and tractors. Plenty of walks especially for our Woofer! Heartlands Village farmers market is a must for a visit as are the local village pubs. Heartlands Quay is superb and there are lovely local places to visit, on foot or by car. We had a superb quiet 2 weeks stay and thoroughly recommend Windbury cottage.
