  Lovely clean warm and comfortable house.

  Ideally located for Appledore and its many excellent bars pubs and restaurants. Instow is also a short drive and its lovely beach, ideal for dog walking and two great pub/ restaurants. The house had lovely comfortable beds and very pleasantly furnished throughout. Kitchen very small and not enough cutlery or crockery to enable proper use of the dishwasher so we ended up washing dishes at the sink which is something we haven’t done for years in our own home. A slight problem with the toilets not flushing properly but we managed as we didn’t want to have people in during our stay. We tried to contact the owners as we were leaving but couldn’t get hold of them and an email I sent to Sykes was returned as ‘ not deliverable’ No cleaning products or cloths to keep sink and bathroom cleaned after use. We also couldn’t find any recycling containers, neither food caddy nor paper. These were small niggling issues that didn’t really mar our stay. We would still go back to this property. Oh, one more thing, don’t forget to take bath towels as they’re not provided.( we stay in many many cottages over the years and it’s the first time we’ve had to take our own towels) Otherwise a lovely stay.

  Lovely house, beautifully furnished & decorated with everything we could possibly need.

  Good location to all amenities. Lovely thoughtful welcome pack. Our only complaint was the building work noise which we were under the understanding from a past comment on reviews that works were to be finished by the end of May,hence we especially booked a week in June. Unfortunately we were woken at 7.30am Monday- Friday by heavy machinery,deliveries by big lorries,huge cranes incessant drilling & loud workmen. According to the sales office we were told that completion wouldn't be till end of January 2025 !!! Not end of May 2024. We have complained direct to Sykes on NUMEROUS occasions & provided evidence of the works inc photos,video's & audio recordings which they've informed us have been forwarded to the owners,we are both terribly disappointed & extremely annoyed that we've heard nothing at all since & getting a response from Sykes is impossible. We've used sykes before but after this experience we'd NEVER use them again.

  Yes I sent a list of problems to caretaker, Dish washer didn't work fridge made constant noises , freezer did after one day.

  Bed double was rock hard and lumpy , the doors to both patios were dirty couldn't see through. TV no netflix.or free view. Contacted caretaker no she didn't k ow what to do it was not connected to wi fi. Kitchen cups cracked , one toilet roll (half) only , duvet had brown mark on it ? Didn't use other beds as on my own due to you not changing dates which I requested. I came home after two nights as I found the place shabby and depressing due to no sleep in double bed. The property on whole is not as described, building surrounding are in need of demolishing, building work opposite noisy when arrived Friday fortunately I did not stay after bank holiday. A waste of my money and I will never use your services again as I was told by the caretaker owner lives abroad and that I should have had the dates I requested in july/August as they were available, albeit I would have been more than angry paying double in that month.

  We loved this house, after staying in many Sykes properties this was one of my faves, Purley based on the tasteful decoration it has been beautiful finished and spotlessly clean.

  Everything you needed for your stay. One thing that I was particularly touched by, was the milk, shortbread biscuits, tea & coffee. That was very nice, also the provision for the dog, feeding/water bowls/blanket all you would need had been thought of. If you wanted to make any improvements a minor things you could do, one would be the cordless hoover is really rubbish at picking up, esp dog hair. I would recommend the 'Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Pet Vacuum' we have it at home. It's Light, picks dog hair up, bigger bin. Easy to use. Or just a soft broom would better that the hoover that's there at present. I love Sykes cottages you alway know what you will get, continuely good standard time after time. Thankyou for a pleasant stay.

  Meadow Bay is a lovely house in a perfect location, only a short 15 min walk to the centre or a 5 min drive.

  The house was immaculate, it had everything we needed for our stay & the beds were extremely comfortable. The only small thing we missed was a microwave in the kitchen would have been useful when dining in although not essential. We appreciated the kind gesture of prosecco, scones, fresh strawberries & cream on our arrival along with treats for our little dog Daisy. The house is very well located for exploring the surrounding area & there are some lovely walks on your doorstep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & we will most definitely be returning.. Thank you very much.
