“It was a very tidy, warm and comfortable cottage with just about everything you would need for a week away.”

There was good parking for 2 cars, a small secure garden for the 2 dogs and a really good beach only a few minutes walk away. This was very quiet when we were there (in October). There was a shop, cafe and take-aways within a 2 minute walk. Unfortunately the village pub has now closed down but there are other pubs within a short drive - one within a moderate walk. ...

There was good parking for 2 cars, a small secure garden for the 2 dogs and a really good beach only a few minutes walk away. This was very quiet when we were there (in October). There was a shop, cafe and take-aways within a 2 minute walk. Unfortunately the village pub has now closed down but there are other pubs within a short drive - one within a moderate walk. It is also a good base for exploring other places with plenty of places to visit nearby on very quiet roads. There some niggles mentioned by other reviewers, such as small basin, dark kitchen and we couldn't find a coffee pot. However, these were minor inconveniences and did not spoil an excellent stay

“Everything you need & more”

A well equipped, well located holiday rental. WiFi, washing machine & dishwasher, TV in all rooms (except bathrooms). Nice powerful shower & parking. There's a good shop and good fish & chip shop a couple of minutes walk from the barn and the beach is only a few minutes walk further. The beach is clean sand for miles & surprisingly unpopulated.

- Adam B, September 2019
“We had a lovely family holiday at Duckling Barn, so well equipped and comfortable.”

The only thing missing for us was an indoor clothes airer, much needed with a 6 month old baby and some damp weather. An ideal, safe, enclosed garden for the dogs. Thank you

- Mrs Bohme, September 2019
“Perfect location for amenities and access to all areas of interest.”

Every beach we visited was above our expectations which included access for our dog. The accommodation was well laid out and the owners had certainly thought of want's and need's of holidaymakers. We would certainly book Duckling Barn again.

- Mr Holloway, September 2019
“Well equipped, spacious accommodation in a nice quiet location with everything in easy walking distance.”

- Mr Beecroft, September 2019
“Beautiful walks both coastal and countryside which the dogs loved .”

. this is the third time we have booked a holiday with sykes and are very pleased with the service of the friendly staff

- Mrs Carley, August 2019
“Had a fantastic week at duckling barn.”

3 mins walk to a very quiet beach, with a lovely Chinese restaurant and fish and chip shop also nearby. The cottage was very spacious, having enough room for our 3 teenagers to find a place(and TV!) to themselves when needed. Will definately be back.

- Mrs Rivers-nutt, July 2019
“Enjoyed our stay very much.”

Would stay at Duckling barn again.

- Mrs Haslock, July 2019
“The pictures made the whole place look bigger than it actually was.”

Freeze fridge needs replace kept freezing our food in the fridge compartment. Would benefit with a small bbq placed in the garden and some comfy chairs to relax in. Kitchen was dark, would benefit from some more sky lights and bathrooms facilities could do with being looked at, only cloak room size fixing installed.

Duckling Barn is a very comfortable place to stay it’s quite central for amenities This was our second stay and we hope to return

- Mrs Chaplin, May 2019
“Loved the barn.”

Very well finished and beautifully presented. We will certainly consider coming back another time. We brought my 93 year old parents with us and they thoroughly enjoyed the break too. Only minor consideration would be that the front step was a little too high for them but that didn’t put them off!!

- Mr Read, April 2019
“They really had thought of everything.”

I've never had a cottage holiday before and I'll definitely do it again! Brilliant for a family of all ages, including our four legged fur babies.

Duckling barn was very well maintained Lovely and warm As weather wasn’t great Everything in kitchen was to hand And very well equipped We Enjoyed our stay

- Mrs Eade, March 2019
“The property could do with a good spring clean throughout.”

Kitchen stool bases were dirty and dusty. Dust on the main bathroom cabinet. The beds could do with new mattresses, they felt a little tired to us. All in all, nice and spacious and a good supply of kitchen utensils. There were comments in the owners review book about welcome packs. We did not have one so that needs to be consistent.

- Mr Gawthorpe, March 2019
“Very peaceful escape.”

Lovely accommodation, very well equipped.

- Mr Sage, February 2019
“Duckling barn is lovely.”

A couple of issues stood out however. The beautiful kitchen is so dark you need a miners helmet to find your way around. There is no where to put anything when using the bathroom sink, so everything has to be put on the floor whilst shaving , brushing teeth etc. Both of these problems could be rectified easily and cheaply making this a perfect place to stay. We both loved it.

- Mr Hughes, December 2018
“Second visit at this cottage and loved it !”

! Very comfortable place and very well equipped. Will book again.

- Mrs Evans, November 2018
“We were very pleased and happy with duckling barn and will certainly be going back”

“Great little cottage.”

Perfect location for beach and country walks. Will definitely visit again

- Miss Campbell, September 2018
“Great cottage with a excellant location , near the sea and with good facilities near buy.”

Great fish and chip shop and Chinese take away. The beach area was clean and was great for the dogs . Lots of places to visit within a short driving distance.

- Mrs Jackson, July 2018
“Perfect Location in a Perfect property.”

The owners couldn’t be more helpful if you need anything.Have booked again already next year. It will be our 4Th time. Thank you! ☮️❤️

- Mrs Allen, June 2018
“Lovely cottage very clean lovely area for good walks with dog”

- Mrs Allen, June 2018
“There was no milk , tea or coffee provided, the most essential items you need when you arrive late.”

Not bothered about the biscuits. We have stayed in several cottages of Sykes, and they have been very well provided. Even the table and bunches have seen better days, a lick of paint would not have gone a miss.

- Mrs Bennison, June 2018
“The accommodation was spacious, clean and well appointed.”

- Mrs HARDING-WHITE, May 2018
“No problems”

- Mrs Woodland, May 2018
“Cottage was lovely.”

Shame that some thoughtless occupant had left chewing gum on the bedroom door handle! No reflection on the owners, only found if the door was closed.

- Mrs Densham Brown, May 2018
“The cottage was much better than originally described and had everything we wanted and in a great location for the beach and surrounding area.”

Really enjoyed our stay. Tried to book again for same period this year but someone beat us to it! Shame mayB next year!
