Mrs Piggott November 2016

“The bungalow was ideal.”

We regularly take our two sisters in law away with us.They are both 85 but very with it! They enjoyed the relaxed and comfortable surroundings as did my husband and I. This is our third booking for a Sykes Cottage and we were again very satisfied.

- Mrs Piggott, November 2016
Mrs Roberts October 2016

“A wonderful bungalow and very helpful owner, excellent location and we were lucky with the weather too!”

Five of us went including my very elderly parents and reading through the guest book elderly guests would seem to be frequent visitors. The bungalow is very well equipped in all respects but one sturdy, comfortable higher seated armchair would be an added bonus for those of more mature years. Just a suggestion but it didn't detract from a lovely few days away.

- Mrs Roberts, October 2016
Mrs Darling October 2016

“It was a lovely comfortable cottage in a brilliant location down by the sea.”

The accommodation was clean and had everything we needed for our stay, including fully equipped kitchen and all mod cons. We will definitely be going back. Thank you!

“Lovely location and a very comfortable bungalow.”

Everything you could need and a nicely kept garden too. The view of the Needles from the end of the road is the icing on the cake! The peace and privacy that it's location afforded were wonderful and made the ideal relaxing break. Having great weather most of the week helped though.

- Mrs Evans, February 2013
Vicki F January 2013

“wonderful, fully equipped family friendly cottage in a great loc”

We booked this cottage for ourselves and our four children for Christmas and everything was just perfect. Upon arrival, we noticed that the cottage had even been decorated for Christmas! The cottage was spotlessly clean, but homely, and very very comfortable and relaxing. It was fully equipped with everything we could possibly have needed, from toilet roll to gravy boat! All six of us were very comfortably accomodated; the bedrooms were of good size, and the beds were all proper- no put you ups. The cliffs and the beach were just a short walk away and the cottage was just a short drive from the supermarket. We booked this cottage for a relaxing family Christmas, which was exactly what we got and more. I highly recommend this holiday! many thanks

- Vicki F, January 2013
