Tricky driveway, but got used to it. Would stay again. Handy for a lot of beaches, places of interest.

It was clean, tidy and nicely planned out. We were greeted with some local goodies which was a nice touch. Iâd suggest more towels would be useful for a 7 day break and also more toilet roll if possible. We only had some small issues, however these wouldnât stop us coming back. We couldnât get the TV or fire-stick to work as it wouldnât connect to the wifi - luckily we bought our own fire-stick and that worked fine. The sofa is pretty uncomfortable as itâs quite worn down now. The bed is also uncomfortable as itâs a very hard mattress - though some people would like that. Also, we did put the bin out as suggested in the manual, but the rubbish wasnât collected.

Lovely spacious bedroom and ensuite with a comfy bed. Living room area was cosy and comfortable too and the kitchen was packed with all things needed which was fab plus dog bowls and a welcome pack which was a nice touch. The outside areas could be improved with more comfortable sun chair and a parasol. We wouldn't use Sykes again as felt we had paid 'over the odds' for this property as we had booked in the New Year at a more expensive rate.
