“Apartments 6 is a good property overall and it met our needs generally but a few small tweaks would make it better as follows: It's an apartment for 8 people and as such could benefit from a third sofa in the lounge to allow everyone to sit down; Add toilet roll holders on walls in both bathrooms and a toilet seat lid in the main bedroom ensuite, somewhere to hang towels (racks/hooks) in both bathrooms- it was difficult to get towels dry and by the end of the week they were pretty damp and fusty, hooks on back of doors etc or towel rails would help, the towel radiators in the bathrooms did not heat up so useless for drying towels and don't have space for more than one big towel really- both bathrooms are big and space for free standing towel racks; provide more information in the flat about stuff to do in the area and provide a good map of the area- maybe replace London map on lounge wall with a map of the area, also provide more details about the basics of the flat eg.”

WiFi code- we were left searching for it, clear instructions on the bin situation which is tricky - including navigating the disgusting bin area outside downstairs -provide the black bags which you say we needed to use, we had to buy our own, instructions for the oven would be helpful, a tumble drier would be useful especially for those of us spending days at the beach, perhaps provide another drying rack for washing as one was not enough again 8 people/two families make washing esp. if kids ...

WiFi code- we were left searching for it, clear instructions on the bin situation which is tricky - including navigating the disgusting bin area outside downstairs -provide the black bags which you say we needed to use, we had to buy our own, instructions for the oven would be helpful, a tumble drier would be useful especially for those of us spending days at the beach, perhaps provide another drying rack for washing as one was not enough again 8 people/two families make washing esp. if kids are involved or people are at the beach or doing water sports etc. More drawers are needed in the second double bedroom to allow for guests to unpack properly for the week, install a smart TV and instructions on how to work TV in guest folder; ensure remotes are working-both remotes had flat batteries. Finally, provide two full sets of keys. As a big group there are times when people want to do different things. Two full sets of keys would have prevented us having to rely on the key safe to ensure we could all get in at different times.. so these are simple small tweaks which would improve the standard and overall experience of the property. Apartment 6 overall is a good property- it worked well for us as two families of four but having stayed at another Sykes property this summer, the standard of apartment 6 by comparison was disappointing. Guests looking to book should also be aware of the steps leading up to the property door and the narrow curved stairs leading up to the door of the apartment itself. The tea/coffee/wine/biscuits on arrival we're good. Thank you for those.

Thank you for your feedback. We have passed all of your comments/suggestions on to the owner who will action each point raised. The property provides a key safe lock therefore it is advisable for the keys to be left in here when you go out, this will allow other guests to access the property at different times of the day. The batteries have been checked and new information leaflets will be provided. Property Owner

“Member of party had mobility issues at time of booking I was told there was one easy flight of stairs.”

There is no stair rail at top of flight ideally second banister required. Person struggled with steps. Waste and recycling area appears public health hazzard and does not create good impression. Disappointing to have to pay for WiFi having advertised WiFi. Otherwise very good location very clean and comfortable. Very well kitted out apartment

- Mr Marshall, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback following your stay at Apartment 6. With regard to the points raised there are two short flights of stairs, one up to the entrance door and one up to the first floor. The stairs are easy to climb but the property is not suitable for disabled guests and is not promoted as such. With regard to the dustbin bay the refuse is collected every week as one would expect. We can confirm that there is free Wi Fi provided in the flat - there is a possibility that you may have picked up the signal from the public library next door by mistake in this case. Property Owner

“Excellent views of the river and old bridge, originally built of oak in the 13th century.”

The accommodation is well appointed, especially regarding the kitchen. Plenty of space and bathing facilities. The electric radiators are effective. We struggled on occasion regarding sufficient hot water. Access is a bit challenging. The entrance to the building is at the rear but need to temporarily park 20 or 30 yards from the door to unload. You then park up long term across the bridge. Fine as long as the driver is reasonably fit. We had a lovely holiday in Bideford. Do visit the museum adjacent to Victoria Park and visit the French Cafe at least once during your stay.

“When we arrived at the apartment the cleaners were still there - they had been given a different time to us for handover.”

However, they were excellent, and kindly put away our cold shopping in the fridge. The apartment was lovely and clean when we got in too - no COVID worries on that score. The view from the main room was amazing - so relaxing to watch the river coming in and going out. The kitchen had everything we needed - even some nice biscuits to help my son's revision along! The showers were lovely and hot too. Don't be put off by the lack of parking either - the long term car park was 5 minutes walk away and was £16 for the whole week (plus we could see the car from the apartment!). All in all, a lovely spot to stay. We enjoyed Bideford, the apartment and the views!

“We just want to send a thank you to the owners, we were a little uncomfortable holidaying with the coronavirus situation so took our own cleaning supplies and bedding.”

The property was immaculate- thanks for making us feel at home.
