“Large cottage, very spacious and lovely location.”

...

However, there were lots of small issues that started to add up. The cottage is quite cold and the thermostat is locked away, so that meant that the upstairs was quite cold in the evenings when going to bed. Lots of the kitchen implements were old and not in good condition. Although this is a small point, considering the amount we had paid for the cottage, it is reasonable to expect a better standard. The sofa and chairs in the living area were all quite uncomfortable and the wi-fi very unreliable. The wi-fi may be due to the location and therefore out of the owners control, although the router does look very old. Again, would expect better considering the price that we paid.

“We had a good and relaxing stay but the property is looking a bit tired and could do with redecorating.”

The seating area in the living room really isn’t comfortable or conducive to the whole family sitting together.

“The location of the cottage is good for exploring the local area, and the cottage has character.”

Unfortunately the cleanliness of the property really let it down, whilst the kitchen and bathroom surfaces were clean it really needs a deep clean of all the rooms to remove dust, grime, and cobwebs. This really let the property down, and its disappointing that despite several reviews to this effect Sykes cottages does not appear to have taken any action.

- Mrs Lelliott, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear that you felt the cottage needed extra cleaning. The owners have noted your comments and are glad you enjoyed the local area. Owner relations

“What a lovely, quiet place to stay!”

Very peaceful cottage with a pretty garden surrounded by beautiful countryside. Comfortable beds, separate dining room, and a nice touch to have cushioned padding on low doorways for tall heads! Wonderful walks from the cottage which our dogs loved. A great base for exploring Lyme Regis, Axminster and the coast.

“Great location for all the seaside towns and inland activities, lovely quiet setting.”

The cottage could do with a deep clean in the kitchen it was a bit off putting cooking in it including many Ants everyday on worktops. The shower even if new as stated is not fit for purpose. It’s less than a trickle of either boiling or cold water. If these things were sorted I may stay in again and was good overall value.

- Mrs Foord, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The owner has noted your comments and has subsequently stayed at the property themselves. They found it to be very clean and did not encounter any ants, so this may have been an isolated occurrence. The shower is working fine on 'eco'. It is not a power shower but has the benefit of being electric and therefore the hot water is always available. Owner relations

“The cottage although old was light and airy, very secluded and lovely and quiet.”

Although advertised as dog friendly, dog not allowed upstairs, this I of course observed, but found odd. There was an abundance of cook ware, cutlery etc but the frying pan really needs to be replaced by non-stick. I think when advertising perhaps mention property on a septic tank, thus moist toilet tissues and most cleaning products not permitted. Enjoyed our week and will definitely book with Sykes again.

“We loved the location however there were a few things that disappointed us about the cottage : 1/ The insistence by the owner of using only eco friendly cleaning products was a challenge as very little was supplied .”

East Devon s rigorous recycling scheme meant we needed lots of different bags - very few were supplied . 2/ In a global pandemic we were disturbed at throws on the sofas - were these cleaned weekly ? 3/ I found a used mans handkerchief in a drawer which again in the current climate was not pleasant. 4 / Too many notes from the owner about what we could and could not do was disconcerting and we couldn’t control the thermostat. 5/ The week before we had been to a property run by Holiday Property Bond and the difference between the two properties in terms of cleanliness was marked . 6/ No hairdryer which is unusual

- Mrs Riddick, August 2020

Thank you for the feedback which we take on board and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed visiting the area. Courshay Springs changeovers are managed by an excellent and very professional cleaner with long experience. The thermostat is set to prevent it being switched up exceptionally high, which affects the beams and woodwork of the house, especially in the old part. Hairdryers aren't included as an compulsory item in our holiday properties but guests can enquire about the availability such items before their holiday, if required. Owner relations
