Very spacious for 2 of us and everything needed was provided. Slight problem with having to refire boiler constantly but did not impact on enjoyment of holiday. Will be booking again soon.

"This is a lovely apartment in a quality block, very central and overlooking the sea (be aware it's on a steep incline!"
)It was very comfortable although we did have a problem with the heating which we reported, hopefully this will be sorted before the weather deteriorates any further.

"The apartment was lovely."
Spacious & great views.
The only negatives centre around the ‘combi’boiler which let us down mid week and meant we were unable to have showers in the morning. This was fixed in the afternoon following phone calls with Mark the owner.
The other associated issue was heating controls - high tech Hive technology but controlled by Mark via his PC.
Simple heating / HW controls in the apartment would be welcome.

"We were a little disappointed with Sykes on arrival as they had given us outdated information for entering the building and we had to phone twice for the correct codes."
Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear you had an issue with the key codes upon entering the property. We can see this was rectified for you as quickly as possible once contact was made and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Property Owner

"This is an excellent apartment with fantastic views and a touch of luxury, private parking space and everything you could need."
we had a small issue with the boiler which was quickly resolved, communication regarding the issue was very good from both the cleaning company and the owner. another slight niggle was the windows had not been cleaned in a while so i actually cleaned part of them to enjoy the view! also the oven shelves had not been cleaned properly, minor issues and didn't spoil the experience. I would highly recommend this apartment but as the price for next year has gone up 50%!!! i would look elsewhere unfortunately.

"This is the second time we have stayed at 5 Arlington Villas."
last time was in October 2020 but the weather was bad and not many places open. But the apartment was brilliant.
This year very good weather and most places open had a great time and some really lovely meals.
We saw some fantastic sunsets from the balcony, perfect way to end an evening.
As before apartment was spotless. Had a bottle of wine as a welcome gift.
We will be using Sykes again.

"A wonderful apartment in a great location with sweeping sea views."
The apartment is finished to a high specification. Most importantly for a winter holiday it is warm with individual room controls and massive radiators in the main room.
The only negative was poor communication about the car park. The numbers we were sent by Sykes were wrong and no one pointed out that we could use the fob on the set of house of house keys - we worked it out after few days of fiddling with number pads.

"Yes! I feel I should point out that the entry codes you provided on "Your Key Collection Details" were incorrect but, corrected by Angela Encarnacao."
The lift also stops at floor 3 for apartment 5! Detail on your website should include that the kitchen hob is an induction hob and not suitable for use by people with pacemakers!
In addition - the following should be passed to the relevant people of the property:-
1 - Dishwasher was loaded with dirty crockery, glasses and cutlery when we arrived!
2 - Toilet seat in en-suite had loose fixings.
3 - Light on either side of mirror in en-suite needs light bulbs.
4 - Condition of refuse area disgusting, I took photograph which I can forward to you if necessary!
5 - Finally - the information folder provided is in a state of disrepair, and needs updating!

"Lovely apartment, very modern and clean."
The heating was a bit erratic, too warm at times. We could not control it, even though we turned it down, it would bounce back to high all the time. The main bathroom was the coldest because the towel rail kept going off. However we stayed an extra 3 days, as we loved the people and the area. Would go back again, perhaps in the summer.

"Apartment was superb, extremely clean and had everything we could possibly need."
To look out over the sea whilst eating breakfast was lovely and the weather was warm, dry and sunny. The apartment was quite "high tech" and we did need to telephone Angela once with a question and we had a good laugh as a few other people had also had to telephone to ask "where the cutlery drawer" was !!! We loved staying there and felt that the people of Ilfracombe were very friendly and welcoming. We walked everyday for quite long walks and to breathe fresh air was a bonus. We both came back feeling regenerated.

"It was a bit disappointing not to find a hair dryer!"
The car park barrier did not open from the inside automatically - so you have to be agile with the code! Apart from that, the location is very good and the parking place is a big advantage. The fixtures and fittings are all of a very high standard and seem hardly to be used. In all, an excellent holiday let.
