    “The house and all the extras were great, exactly what we had expected from the listing.”

    We met the owners who were very friendly and they were on hand to deal with any issues should they have arisen. When they went away for a couple of days during our stay they left us with contact numbers so we felt if there had been a problem it was covered. My only issue was the extreme difficulty in contacting Sykes before our stay. The telephone contact for Sykes only appears to allow booking or payment options so, as advised, I contacted using WhatsApp. Through this I was advised at 4.33pm ...

    We met the owners who were very friendly and they were on hand to deal with any issues should they have arisen. When they went away for a couple of days during our stay they left us with contact numbers so we felt if there had been a problem it was covered. My only issue was the extreme difficulty in contacting Sykes before our stay. The telephone contact for Sykes only appears to allow booking or payment options so, as advised, I contacted using WhatsApp. Through this I was advised at 4.33pm on 29/07/25 that "An agent would be in touch asap". On 01/08/25, 3 days later and the day our holiday began, I received a message at 1.31pm advising that they were "receiving large volumes of messages and unfortunately they hadn't been able to respond to me in time". The message went on to say that "if I still wanted a response I should reply to the message with 'yes' and someone would be in touch shortly". An hour later they closed the chat because I hadn't responded. It is at least a six hour drive from Essex to Devon, so with an arrival time of 5pm I was actually driving to begin our holiday at that time and so did not pick up the first message and by the time I saw it, the chat was closed. I was less than impressed. As it happens I had already resolved my issue but I think that is beside the point, surely dealing with queries should be part of the service of administering the bookings that Sykes charge their clients for.

HOLSWORTHY

Bude 10 miles; Launceston 13.7 miles; Barnstaple 25 miles.

The ancient market town of Holsworthy lies nestled amid the rolling green hills of Tarka Country. There are many different landscapes within the region, from rugged cliffs and sandy beaches to rolling farmland and lush valleys. Holsworthy has much to offer, including a swimming pool, tennis court and splendid park with bowling green. The town centre boasts a varied selection of traditional shops, pubs and cafés, based around the market square. There is an 18-hole golf course just outside the town, while the local area is rich with opportunities for fishing, sailing, cycling and walking. The sandy beaches at Bude are within easy reach, while further afield visitors can explore the changing face of the South West Coastal Path, dramatic Exmoor and Dartmoor, and unspoilt Bodmin Moor, or simply relax in the quiet countryside that typifies North Devon.
