"Cleanliness was adequate but bed linen was stained and cheap."
Toilet seat in family bathroom was loose. Freezer door inside was broken as was a shelf in fridge. Inside of kettle was very stained. For the amount of money paid expected better.
The Bungalow itself was lovely and surrounding area. We were very lucky with the weather which made our holiday relaxing and great. A little more finesse required I think!
Thank you for your feedback. Our telephone number is prominent for any encountered problems. Therefore, we were surprised to hear you found the bed linen to be stained and of poor quality, please be assured that all linen in the property is of hotel quality. With regard to the inside of the freezer door and shelf in the fridge, our housekeeper has confirmed that these were fine at the changeover prior to your arrival. Any problems encountered should have been reported and would have been rectified immediately. Property Owner

"Numerous positivies, too many to list."
This is a 5 star property for sure, and the advert was very accurate. The beds were reasonably comfortable, the decor nice, floors lovely and solid, oven was great to use, dishwasher great, garden lovely (with a distant sea view not mentioned). List goes on.
Having said that and being very picky, there were two very minor negatives which could easily have made our stay just that bit better. 1. A seperate tumble drier or washing machine with a tumble drier option. Although the washing line was adequate, weather is not always good and sometimes you need things dried yesterday!
2. A smart TV. The one installed was quite old and had no app functionality, I.E. No Youtube or Netflix. I suggest you take your own USB stick. People often ask why you need a TV on holiday, but those couple of hours in the evening are helpful with kids.

"Hi, we didn't sleep well at all, the beds where very uncomfortable so didn't get much sleep."
The sofa was uncomfortable too.
And it isn't near a beach, it's a half an hour away.
On the information about this place you said it was 10mins, it was misleading.
The kitchen needs new equipment,we found it difficult to cook ect.
Washing clothes was difficult because there is no dryer or washing line, found a broken washing stand in the garage so use that, but it wasn't brilliant.
Recycling was difficult to there was no information about when the bins gets emptied or where to but the recycling, all the bins where full, haven't been emptied at all.
I am disappointed with what happened with what I have said, but a lovely bungalow.
Thank you for your feedback and we were saddened to read your comments. Contact numbers are on view in the bungalow for problems. The kitchen appliances are under 2 years old and have been PAT tested in the last 6 months I really wish you mentioned your problems when we spoke on the telephone re the recycling. Devon council are trying to resolve the issue. There is a Vileda retractable washing line fixed to the wall with a line prop in the garage. Beds are very personal but be assured we are monitoring the situation. Leather is cool when first sat on and it does not help when soft furnishings are still not allowed with COVID restrictions. Woolacombe beach is a 10 minute drive ( 2 miles) unless there are traffic holdups.

"We were returning guests to this property and we will certainly look to visit again."
This bungalow is in the perfect location to be away from busy Woolacombe itself but only a short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches and coves.
The garden is perfect for families. A good size but secure enough for the children to be outside on their own.
Kitchen is very well equipped. Although, it did seem to be missing a potato peeler - maybe that could be added - but otherwise, spot on.
Thank you for letting us stay again.

"Fairways was a great holiday home."
It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. A real home from home. We are very likely to rebook for next year.

"The bungalow was immaculate , well equipped and stylish."
Only suggest
the front and back doors could benefit from half steps as they are quite deep to ground level and hinder elderly or disabled. Everything else was superb. We were lucky with the weather as the forecast said rain or showers every day (they lied ) We had one night of rain Saturday and drizzle on Thursday evening. A welcome holiday much appreciated.

"The bungalow was very suited to our needs - plenty of space and everything we needed in the kitchen etc."
The BBQ was an added bonus and we enjoyed using that and the garden on the warmer days.
The location was nice and quiet but also near to lots of great places to visit. We'd come again.

It suited our requirements perfectly. Providing spacious , comfortable , peaceful holiday. Close to lots of wonderful towns and villages.
I would have liked to have had earlier updates from sykes as to how they were adapting. The first update i received was to take the balance payment

"Nice well equipped bungalow in a quiet residential location."
It's a cul-de-sac so no problems with traffic - hardly saw anyone.
Our only complaint was the mattress on the double bed. In our view it was extremely hard and lumpy - woke up feeling achy.
Look out for high car park charges if you want a short visit to Woolacombe.

"Lovely bungalow, excellent position, thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The only thing was that the heating didn’t come on until 7.30p.m. And as the weather had cooled down this was too late to warm the place up. So we resorted to blankets from the wardrobe. This did not detract from or holiday which we thoroughly enjoyed.

"A member of our party has walking difficulties and found it a problem stepping over the threshold at the front and back of the property due to the depth."
We solved this problem by putting one door mat on top of the other. When inside there is plenty of room for a walking aid and everything we needed.

The lady who looks after the property was very helpful. The kitchen was very well equipped and all appliances worked. The general look of the property is excellent. Very quiet property but still close to Morthoe and Ilfacombe. Both the property and the garden were kept in good condition.
