What our customers say about their holidays

  We stayed for 3 nights over Nye (3 families sharing).

  We were disappointed that the first floor toilet was out of action and then had a shaky start with the fridge door breaking and a bottle of prosecco falling out! However, the owners came round to apologise about this and replace the broken bottle. The house was very clean and beds comfy. More than enough bedding/pillows/towels provided as well as hand soap/toilet roll in every bathroom and washing up things provided. Brilliant location a few minutes walk from the beach. You can park three cars if you move the wheelie bins and park in an L shape (two on drive, one in front of living room window). Overall I think we all felt it was a bit pricey considering the house needs some improvements (lots of cracks, broken toilet etc) and we would've been happier with locks on all the bathroom doors! However, we really enjoyed our stay and were impressed with the amenities and friendly owners.

  It was a lovely house.

  The actual street address isn't as sexy as Babbacombe Hall but the location is really central to get to a number of lovely places, often on foot. The bedrooms are lovely and all well appointed. I doubt the lounge could really accommodate the whole group if the maximum advertised number was present but we were only 10 or 11 and actually tended to congregate evenings in the dining room. The kitchen is well equipped but the ovens and hob were a bit slow and would lack capacity to prepare meals for a full complement. There isn't much preparation space but we managed very well. We had a professional chef for one evening and brought in the BBQ tables for extra prep space. The house was lovely. I find that Sykes is easy to book with but if you have any out of the ordinary requests, the process is deliberately vague for getting answers.

  Having stayed in a few similar places in the area we can say this was by far the best.

  The owners provided a high quality guide of up to date information before our stay before we arrived allowing us to plan our trip and took up many of their recommendations many of which were a convenient short walk away. The house itself was as described with comfortable areas, with well designed warm and inviting rooms. The amenities had all the desired space which allowed multiple groups to enjoy their own activity without the disturbance of overlapping each other. A good example is the quiet snug well situated for reading far enough away from the music being played by the hot tub and the film being watched the Livingroom. The owners were helpful, informative and quick in response to our query making allowing you to relax. Well situated, great venue suitable for families or groups, I would highly recommend.

  Had a very comfortable stay in this lovely house.

  Having the Hot Tub and garden maintained daily meant it was easy to use either whenever we wanted to - and we did. The House had enough equipment for all of us which was great, though a cupboard/space just for storing our food would have been useful. We really enjoyed being so close to the promenade, the Tessier Gardens, the Model village and the shops and having leaflets in the house made it easy to find other places to visit. Having our own parking space was a big relief as we had 3 biggish cars between us and parking is at a premium in seaside towns. I would highly recommend staying here for itself and as a good base for the 'English Riviera'. PS would also recommend the Local History society's free walk round Babbacombe / St Marychurch (every Tuesday in summer) - interesting and informative. Thank you

  We stayed at the property during Christmas for 7 days.

  The property was very spacious and had everything we need plus more. It was a maze but in a good way (very good to hide away from the kids :-) ). It is very situated to the beach and walkable to town and supermarkets. We had a very small issue and although it couldn't be resolved due to Christmas, Justine was contactable and replied promptly during this break. From the very beginning, Angelo made our stay very enjoyable by contacting us prior to our check in to see if there's anything we need for our stay, answering my thousands questions :-) and throughout our stay, Justine was in contact to ensure everything was in order and we are all having a good time. We all had a very enjoyable break and I would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family.
