  Great cottage, spacious and comfortable.

  Mattresses were good and comfortable. Parking on street was never a problem and it is close to pubs, tea room, food shop. Mostly the kitchen, which was very nice with a large oven and hob, was well equipped. But if I have to be picky I'd say they need to provide more than one Tea towel for a week, a pair of oven gloves and some bin liners. Also two bedrooms have no hanging storage so that was awkward at times. A few hooks and hangers in both bedrooms would have been good to hang dresses etc. If two people are sharing the twin room, one small set of drawers with some of the handles missing is not enough storage. Put some hooks on the wall perhaps. It states on the description the cottage is a 'stones throw' away from the sea, so I took that to mean I could walk it, you can't! I wish I'd checked the map before booking. It's a misleading description and Sykes need to take that wording out. The cottage is deceptional and is larger than it looks. It's probably not suitable for the very elderly or anyone with walking difficulties as it has one or two steep steps in the kitchen and dining room and a few smaller ones too. Generally it was clean and well equipped and I would recommend it.

  Courtyard cottage is absolutely lovely it’s very spacious and has everything anyone could possibly need to have a wonderful holiday.

  My only slight criticism (as this is more an error on my part because I perhaps should have asked this question of Sykes upon booking) is that the cottage does have a number of steps inside the property going between the rooms that weren’t mentioned in the description. One particularly large step that caused a bit of an issue with one of our party who has accessibility problems is the one between the kitchen and the dining room which is the access to the stairs up to the bedrooms - my recommendation would be for the owners to consider installing a handrail to assist people like my sister in future so they don’t have any issues. My fault entirely for not checking upon booking but it was quite a large step and I did feel it should be mentioned as I had to help her up and down it safely so she didn’t fall. I chose the property because of the open showers due to her accessibility issues so it was a shame to then have steps inside that we weren’t expecting but it is a lovely cottage and I would absolutely recommend it for a lovely well kept accommodation.

  Courtyard Cottage made the perfect base for our family.

  The cottage was furnished beautifully and the kitchen well supplied with all utensils and equipment anyone could need. The bedrooms were comfy and spacious, only the double bedrooms had hanging space however which meant we had to share wardrobes. Both bathrooms were nice and the showers hot and powerful. We would have found a separate toilet to the bathrooms useful as with 7 of us there was often a queue for the bathrooms. The only things we would improve were the cleanliness of the floors, even upon arrival our socks were caked in filth from the floors which clearly hadn’t been cleaned since the previous guests and there is no main light in the sitting room so either you leave the curtains open giving everyone on the Main Street a view of the room or you sit in the near dark as the side lights only work on one side of the room.

  Lovely property and a great location, only yards from the entrance to Glen Gardens and minutes from the sea.

  The enclosed car-parking at the rear of the house meant it was very family-friendly, with a small garden area for the kids to run off any spare energy at the end of the day. Very well equipped kitchen meant we had everything we needed for cooking family meals. Good selection of books for the kids and games for all was a nice bonus. We had a visitor join us for a day and so the second car-parking space was vey much appreciated. We hadn’t realised there wasn’t a dishwasher in the house, which was a shame, and the lack of a smart TV downstairs was slightly disappointing, but neither of those things would put us off booking the property again and we had a great week.

  A very clean comfortable holiday let.

  It was nice to have good quality home from home kitchen equipment. Really appreciated the dishwashing liquid, handwashing liquid and small supply of loo rolls. The coffee machine with a good supply of pods and welcome tray of drink sachets, biscuits and milk in the fridge was very welcome. Thank you for the email prior to our holiday which outlined all of the above and some good recommendations for local eateries. We went to Ingham's and San Marco's, which we would also recommend. The only thing that disturbed our sleep was the squawking of the seagulls; the beds and quilts were very comfortable. We would definitely recommend.
