  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.

  This was our second stay in The Robins and was just as good as we remembered.

  We had a phone call to say that the property was ready for us, a little earlier than arranged but as we were a little later than we had hoped to be we rang Sue just as we were arriving and she came straight away to show us around. A lovely warm welcome with a complimentary basket of essentials to make a welcome cuppa! The photos do not do the property justice and we couldn't find fault with anything. I thought something was missing in the lounge but my husband remembered the lovely Christmas tree from our earlier stay! Really spoilt for choice with more books than a library, games and even jigsaws as well as toys for younger children. Lovely linen and more towels than we needed....perfect! And within a 3 minute walk of our favourite restaurant...Bella Italia is just around the corner but do book. We went twice during our stay and the restaurant was full on both occasions. We had a lovely stay here and will definitely return.

  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.

  What a lovely property in an ideal setting with views of the bay .

  The house was so well equipped with everything you could possibly need, definitely home from home . The bathrooms were all beautifully done out and were immaculately clean. There is ample space for a large family and doggies and having the large utility and porch were great for coming in off a sandy beach . Just a few issues to highlight so they don’t get missed for other guests: The basket of kitchen essentials were missing , we requested a cot which wasn’t available on arrival , issues with blinds in upstairs bedroom and also the grass was quite long for my toddler grandchildren to play on. However this would not stop us from returning as these are minor issues that can be resolved. Loved the house and all the space ideal for our 3 generations of family . Would love to come back .
