  The photos of the property on Sykes Cottages site make it appear larger than it is.

  There was a sharp broken tile in the kitchen, a door off its hinges up stairs which was just left leaning against the wall, loose bath panel, poorly repaired sofas which looked horrible, the wheelie bins were full upon our arrival meaning we had nowhere to dispose of rubbish, the chairs at the dining table were in a poor state, there were not 2 washing machines - 1 was a tumble dryer which is actually better, the property was full of left food from previous tenants in the cupboards and fridge, the washing machine had lots of hair in it, I got trapped in the side porch as there is no handle on the inside, the fan in the twin room was thick with dust, female sanitary items were left in the bathroom cabinet, the bottom of the fireplace was hanging off, dog food left in a cupboard, medication left in the kitchen drawer along with syringes (without needles). There was a torn sheet on one of the single beds. I had to wash some of the plates before I could use them as they were dirty, the frying pan was sticky with grease and still had remnants of oil in it. One of the security lights outside lit up the downstairs double bedroom making it difficult to sleep, there was the same problem upstairs in the balcony room as there was no curtain at the window. The hand rail on the steps outside was too big to grip and the rail the other side of the gate couldn't be used as it was all splintered. It was surprising that dogs were not allowed on the furniture as it was all already damaged. All in all, the property was not at the standard the photographs showed, in fact some of it was incredibly dangerous, I feel that I have paid far too much for the stay there and would welcome a partial refund. The property was very clean and comfortable but I will not go again.

  Overall a good stay.

  Positives, a great welcome pack and good selection of games, the hot tub is massive which is great. Good to have off-road parking and location right in the town centre is excellent. I agree with others that the pictures do make it look bigger than it is. Staying with a baby, we couldn’t get the pram in the front door as the corridor and baby gate made is so narrow. I used the washer - an essential staying with a baby - but then found the dryer wouldn’t work as the water tub was full but it was impossible to empty without taking the kitchen apart to get to it. The mattress in the first floor double room sinks in the middle and wasn’t comfortable. The bathroom on the first floor has been grouted not silicon sealed between the tiles and bath meaning it’s got gaps and the grout looking a bit dirty - you notice these things when bathing a baby! Staying with a parent who has mobility and sight issues, the floors are uneven throughout the property and the downstairs shower room is very small. Part of the reason of booking this property was it had a ground floor bathroom and bedroom. One of the jets in the hot tub doesn’t work as the grey dial that switches it on/off is stuck/broken in the off position. This is an honest review of what we found and feedback to the owners and we did have a good stay.

  The bungalow is lovely and has everything you need - the outside space is safe and secure for furry friends and the owner supplied a lovely welcome tray with a cake and other goodies.

  The only issue we found with the house that we fed back to the owners directly was that the two sofas are uncomfortable and low down and as we travelled with elderly parents they found it difficult to sit on them and had to sit on a dining chair which isn't too relaxing all evening. I suggested a corner sofa and maybe a wingback arm chair as they would also benefit from being able to see the TV properly due to its position and maybe put the tv on the wall. These wouldn't be an issue for younger guests and people that don't wish to watch tv so it wouldn't take it away from the stay for everyone. The bathrooms are lovely and there is great access out of the back gate to the beach but also note if using a wheelchair/pushchair or motorobility scooter there are quite a few steps up to the beach and the ramp is clogged with sand( there is another ramped access further down to use )

  It’s a brand new property and it’s as gorgeous as the photos show.

  Very comfortable beds and a great heating system, essential as we had some snow! The back gate leads onto a path through the caravan park directly to the beach and the Prom so fabulous access. It’s absolutely stocked full of enough plates, glasses, dishes and cookware that you can really limit the dishwasher use and tablets/washing machine pods also provided. Amazing welcome package and a lovely phonecall from the very helpful owner, Karen, a few days before made for a great start to our break. Thank you Karen and family.

  Lovely bungalow in a great location for exploring the local area.

  Easy access to the beach, just through the rear gate. House warm and comfortable and super clean throughout. My only slight negatives for the house is the position of the TV in relation to the settees as this made it hard to watch in an evening and maybe blinds in the front bedrooms to enhance privacy? Overall a brilliant stay and would thoroughly recommend. Owner really friendly and welcoming and she even leaves you a home made lemon drizzle cake which was superb!! Thank you again
