Clean and tidy. Few minutes walk to the beaches and pubs.

I asked if there was a washing machine in the cottage. The reply was - Yes there is a washing machine in Gillys cottage. No washer jn cottage, its a walk down a garden path in a old building, £ coins required and the coin box was jammed for 2 days. Please check your answers are correct.

Great location, clean enough, basic but fine for a few nights stay. Beaches nearby were great and made a good stay for family with dogs.

No hot water for that last 2 out of 3 days, by the time we realised on the 2nd night it wasn’t worth the effort of trying to reach out and hoped that there would be hot water in the morning to shower before check out, there wasn’t. Other than this it was a pleasant stay

Lovely cottage. Very clean and nicely decorated. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable living/dining area. Spacious bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower. Comfortable bedrooms with plenty of wardrobe space. Free car parking. Excellent location - only a couple of minutes walk away from the beach and centre of Hope Cove but far enough away to be quiet. Treat box was a nice touch on arrival. Would stay here again without a doubt.

The only criticism I would have is a lack of privacy as it's very close to the other cottages and people were walking by the windows to get to and from their accommodation and the car park. Having said that it didn't ruin our stay at all but others may not like it.

The cottage is nice and bright. Good shower, comfy beds, easy walk into Hope Cove BUT the description / pictures of it are misleading. See below.

The cottage is in a corner of a car park! This only becomes clear once you've booked and get direction to the cottage. The shared outside space is across from the car park. On the one side where the window doesn't face the car park there is a foot path leading to flats right outside so that people walking past can easily look inside. So no privacy anywhere. Depending on your neighbours you also have to put up with the noise of gravel being driven on right in front of your windows and their voices late at night. This happened to us luckily only one out of three nights. I asked for a free cancellation after I realised that the cottage was in a corner of a car park and just got the standard reply that this booking was without free cancellation. No reply to may complaint about the misleading / missing description of the property. Sykes cottages do not answer their phone and the messages I left were unanswered. Whilst the cottage itself is nice, I would not recommend staying there.
