  • "Boathyde has much potential given its location and very modern looking facilities however, when the basics aren’t right the experience suffers."

    1. Property details on arrival are poor with little info on the digital heating and door access. Th 2. An en-suite toilet cistern ran constantly causing sleepless nights. 3. A shower drain was blocked, flooding on first night and couldn’t be used again. 4. Games room was freezing, it took 4 nights to warm up (we stayed for 5). 5. Hot Tub wasn’t ready on arrival, it needed 24 hours to get to temperature. 6. Whilst the kitchen appears modern it is not well equipped, only 3 saucepans, a poor selection of glasses and overall lacking in sensible items such as colliders etc. On arrival and first inspection Boathyde appeared perfect for us (9 adults across 2 families with dogs) and whilst we enjoyed our stay the aforementioned niggles (which weren’t corrected when highlighted) meant we couldn’t fully enjoy our New Year break. Festive breaks carry a premium which we understand but in truth when you pay £5k for 4 full days you expect better quality.

  • "Wonderful property."

    Ten family members, including 4 grown-up grandchildren had a fabulous time at Boathyde. One of the best we’ve stayed in. Superb facilities, spotlessly clean and a bonus having the games room, the gym and jacuzzi, which meant it was so much fun for the grandchildren and adults alike. Generous welcome pack, delicious scones. Superb views, couldn’t fault it. Had a fabulous time.

  • "This is the second time with have used Sykes and we were not disappointed."

    Boathyde has an exceptional location and the long track was not a problem for us. The house is fabulously set overlooking the estuary and on the coastal path. A large enclosed garden for children and dogs and the hot tub was the perfect temperature! Spoilt with a games room and gym our family really had the space to roam! Inside the layout was great with every facility and most rooms ensuite. Plenty of parking and Appledore is charming. We could not have asked for more. Loved our visit - except for the weather!

  • "The boathyde is amazing."

    On the whole we had a great time. The facilities it has are amazing. Just a few little things let it down. The floor was not clean when we got there and all our socks got really dirty from walking around straight away. The salt and pepper was empty. There was a washing line but no pegs. We had an issue with the smoke alarms beeping at 5.30am which woke us up 2 days running. It was sorted on the second day by Charlie but the batteries should be replaced annually so this should not happen. There was no batteries in the sky remote so had to take them out of the tv to change the sky over. The radiators in 2 rooms leaked all over the floor so we couldn’t use this either. We did tell Charlie about this. With all this said it is amazing and we will 100% book and go again.

  • "The house and grounds are fantastic."

    We did really enjoy our stay. It is in a great quiet location and the view was beautiful . A few small things we thought that could make it even better were - 1) more glasses (for 10 people there was not really enough crockery). 2) the salt and pepper wer both empty and not much left in washing up liquid which was said to be in the welcome pack. 3) table tennis balls were no good to play with 4) Playstation there but no handsets to play games. These are all minor points and we all said that we would definitely return to this property. The games room was brilliant for the children.

    It was great to have family time together - the games room was well used. The hot tub was a great added bonus. Very clean and comfortable. The cream tea went well very well - thanks very much Sally

  • "Stunning property in a wonderful location with easy access to beaches and local towns with wonderful views of the river Torridge from the property."

    The house itself is stunning, extremely well equipped with a superb separate games room, with a Cinema standard TV providing film and sports channels for rainy days. Another building in the garden houses a small gym. The Hot tub is huge and very efficient. The outdoor dining area is next to the Hot tub and games room and the gas Barbecue worked perfectly and easily coped with food for 7 persons. The bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage and the en-suites were modern, well equipped with wonderful showers. Beds were large and comfortable. The kitchen equipment and indoor dining facilities were top quality and the coffee machine was provided with plenty of pods for our 7 day visit. The garden is large and secure if you have a dog and provides easy access to the public footpath which runs alongside the river. It’s about a 30 minute walk into Appledore along the riverside path. Our only gripe was there were no dressing tables and the mirrors on the walls in the bedrooms were too high unless you’re tall. There are however, large mirrors in the en-suite bathrooms There is plenty of secure and private parking and there are two charging points in the car park if you have an electric vehicle. Everyone in our party of 7 would highly recommend this property and would definitely return.

    Excellent location, beautiful house and gardens. Lovely to arrive to fresh bread, scones etc. Can't fault it. As a group of 10 mature ladies we all would recommend this house and we are definitely going to come again!

    Small walk to Appledore where you have some really nice pubs with a beautiful view overlooking the estuary. Very friendly housekeeper and gardener. I would definitely come back

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the facilities, the views, and the great location near Appledore. It’s lovely to know the whole family had a good time and that our team made you feel welcome. We’d be absolutely delighted to have you back again! Property Owner

  • "Amazing property in a great location."

    The view was stunning! Short drive to all main attractions but the games room and hot tub made it easy to entertain the kids even on rainy days. Nice spacious bedrooms, great decor and everything was very clean. Kitchen well equipped for all you need to cater for large groups. Only criticism is that the mattresses in all the beds were extremely hard so sleep wasn't great

    Hello thanks for your feedback. We do prefer very firm mattresses in our household, and they are very expensive mattresses. This said we’ve taken this on board and now provide mattress toppers for those who prefer a softer mattress. Hopefully this will improve the comfort rating. Property Owner
