Take into consideration you have people/families and below you which can be noisy and the table outside means people from your house can be outside at night talking which is heard through the open windows and is annoying. I would not use Sykes again as communication on app is so slow.

Itâs a good size and each room has plenty of space. It was light and airy. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment, cutlery and crockery. It needs a guide on how to use the hob - we struggled with that initially. We liked having a parking space and I would rent the property again. 2 points to make the stay easier: 1. Only having one set of keys was a MASSIVE problem for us. Lyme Bay gave us a second set but they didnât open the ground floor entrance which was our problem door. As you share the entrance with the top flat, who independently lock that entrance door, we were finding members of our group were locked in and couldnât get out or locked out but couldnât get in, even though people were in the flat. Phone signal was patchy so they couldnât even phone us! It was infuriating and would prevent me from rebooking without the guarantee of 2 sets of keys.it was a big issue for us as we didnât all come and go at the same time. 2. Easier arrival instructions. If you donât know that the main car park is not Underhill, itâs hugely confusing. We thought the area in front of the flat was where we were meant to park. Please amend arrival instructions to suggest people park outside the property to unload luggage and then take the car to Underhill car park , which is BEHIND the property, not in front. Having discovered where Underhill car park is, the reserved space is easy to find and weâll sign posted.

The property was very clean, generally well appointed. The location was excellent and we had a lovely week away. However, we asked for and was told a travel cot would be in the property, that didnât happen. With a baby in tow you can imagine that caused us an issue to sort on the first day of our arrival after a long journey. It needs new sofas, the one opposite the window is incredibly lumpy and uncomfortable to sit on. Finally, itâs worth noting on the listing that the floors above carry the sound very badly - the family above us moving made the doors in our apartment shake and conversations carried. It didnât cause an issue for us, but with a lighter sleeping baby or for those irritated by such things it would do.
