  A lovely place to stay, with plenty to do.

  Having the private beach was a real bonus as no need to get in the car if planning a day at the beach. Our grandson enjoyed the play area and had lots of fun together with children from the other cottages. The cottage was as described, and yes small but adequate for us and our grandson. We struggled to sleep well due to the small double bed which I had read about in previous reviews but chose to ignore hoping this issue may have been addressed.The cottage is nicely decorated and fairly well equipped, the towels were lovely and soft and although small , the bed was comfy. Our dog was also well catered for, treats, poo bags and even a towel. The animals were very friendly ,well cared for and enjoyed being fed on a regular basis (food available from the shared utility room). We didn’t have a problem with the wi-fi or mobile signal as was previously mentioned in reviews. Staff very friendly and seldom seen so not intrusive in any way. The location is excellent, plenty of walking directly from the farm and a very short drive to Ilfracombe for supplies or day out etc. Also walking distance to local attractions and eateries. All in all a fabulous place to stay and highly recommend.

  We stayed in Henwood Barn, with our 2 Dogs.

  The property is amazingly clean, immaculate,warm, very comfortable and stylish. There was always hot water, and the bed was super comfortable. It was so quiet and peaceful in the accomodation and the beautiful surrounding area. The Owner, Becca, was so friendly and welcoming, and was there if we had needed anything, yet also left us to enjoy our stay privately, which we prefer. On arrival we were greeted warmly by her, and she also left us a gift of a delicious Cornish Cream Tea, plus gifts for our Dogs, which was a thoughtful touch. We also found we had been left a large basket of logs for the log burner, plus firelighters. The surrounding area is beautiful, and it is the perfect location for visiting many places within Cornwall. Overall, this is one of the best, if not the best Sykes accomodation that we have stayed in. We will definitely be returning and can highly recommend!

  Fantastic views, amazing building to spend our 30th wedding anniversary which made it a special place for our stay. Our rating of 4 star was based on the towls had some dubious stains on them and we had to put them through the washing machine twice, which for the amount we paid to stay, we were suprised they were in that condition. The other reason was the onsite caretaker who within 5 minutes of us arriving was moaning we hadn't bolted the entrance gate in exactly the way he liked it. We had shut the gate but left one of the floor spikes in the up position as we arrived at 10 minutes past 4 and assumed other guests would be soon arriving and as the gate was wet it would save their clothing getting wet when leaning over. But we still had a nice time and it was special for us.

  The cottage is very well furnished with the exception of the bed in the main bedroom which was narrower than a normal double bed.

  However the living area was very cramped and it was necessary to move furniture for comfort. The toilet brush was broken and cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling gave doubts about the cleaning regime, also despite being, quite rightly, asked to clear up after our dog there wsa a large amount of goose droppings in the parking area and by the cottages. While this can be expected in fields on a farm by holiday cottages and parking it is not acceptable. As there is to mobile phone signal there it was not good that there was no on-site contact in case of emergency, leaving a mobile number was not much use. All in all we were quite disappointed with Martin Cottage where we had been looking forwerd to staying.

  We arrived in the middle of Storm Dennis. The cottage was warm, well laid out and very comfortable. The welcome hamper provided was superb. We arrived too late to shop on a Sunday evening, the hamper provided all we needed until we shopped on Monday. It was without doubt one of the most comfortable holiday cottages I have stayed in. Everything was provided, beds made and towels laid out. The sea views from the bedrooms, lounge and dining room were excellent. The fog horn sounded through out the night on a couple of occasions but we did not find the tone irritating and soon forgot it was there (without earplugs). I would highly recommend this cottage and look forward to our next stay.
