"We had a fantastic stay at Archery Retreat."
It was immaculate throughout. As a group of 10, 6 adults and 4 children, we found we had plenty of space and privacy with plenty of toilets/bathrooms available. The bathrooms are luxurious! Dale was so accommodating and helpful, making herself available to take in a delivery of balloons as a surprise for our birthday guest. We all commented on the tasteful design choices and lovely furniture. My mum was so impressed with the sofa, she has been out shopping to find one similar! A short walk from the beach, where the children loved running around and playing football. An absolutely beautiful house in a great location. Thanks so much for having us!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the house, the amenities, and the location. It was an absolute pleasure to host you and your family and I look forward to welcoming you back anytime. Property Owner

"The house is beautiful, and a very short walk to the seafront, the sea can be seen from upstairs so you know it’s not far, all the lovely little touches, fresh flowers in the rooms, the welcome pack, chocolate, bread, marmalade and wine, very special touches throughout the house, facial wipes, cotton pads etc in the bathrooms, very nice, thank you."
Our only moan would be that we booked the house thinking it was a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom (we were 5 couples so we all appreciate having our own bathrooms) and it was actually 5 toilets, spread over the 4 floors but only 3 actual bathrooms, 2 being en-suite and the other 3 bedrooms having to share one bathroom, which is not the end of the world I know but did cause slight issues when we first checked in, but other than that little blip the house was lovely and we would highly recommend it. Thank you
Hi Paul, Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. We are so thrilled you enjoyed the house, location, amenities and the warm welcome. It was our pleasure to host you and your group. Please accept my apologise that your expectations regarding the number of bathrooms were not met. I have contacted Sykes Cottages to correct this error in their records and on their website to ensure only correct data is promoted. I’m sorry you had to experience that. Thanks for sharing & you are welcome back anytime. Dale@ArcheryRetreat Property Owner

"On arriving at Archery Retreat I was amazed at how beautiful the house was as soon as you walk into entrance hall it feels welcoming."
The owner had left us a welcome pack with essentials and a beautiful hand written welcome card. Every room was spotlessly clean and there was everything you needed in the kitchen. The lower level was ideal for my daughter and the two doggies it was like a self contained flat . All of the bathrooms were fitted to the highest standards our favourite feature the roll top baths. This house really has to be seen to appreciate just how wonderful it really is. Thankyou Dale for an amazing experience we hope one day to come back again x
Thank you Janis for your really lovely feedback. We are thrilled you enjoyed the house. It was wonderful to host you and i look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
