“The cottage was very well presented - very clean and very well equipped, it had everything we needed.”

The owner had lit the oil stove before we arrived so the cottage was warm and cosy and plenty of hot water.

The owner had lit the oil stove before we arrived so the cottage was warm and cosy and plenty of hot water. The dissatisfaction with the booking is that Sykes tried to add an extra £50 to the final invoice saying we had booked through Trip Advisor (which we had not). This extra charge was removed when I complained.

Mr Salter September 2021

“Very well equipped cottage in a lovely village.”

Beautiful garden with parking just up the road.

- Mr Salter, September 2021
Mrs Masters June 2021

“Comfortable cottage.”

Quite central for visiting local places. Garden quite secure for dogs. Parking was a little distance from cottage. Roads quite narrow but this seemed normal for the area.

“This is our second visit to this cottage and it is perfect for us.”

The host and caretaker are easy to contact and very helpful. However I don’t think the parking issue is sufficiently clearly described. The walk up the lane would not be easy with a couple of small children or for anyone with mobility issues. If you park outside to unload you block the lane although there is a pull in not too far away - fine for anyone able. More generally we like the service we get from Sykes but too many advertising emails. Also please stop describing a downstairs toilet as a second bathroom! We are not American and this wastes so much time when looking for a property that has two actual bathrooms/showers. Also you give lots of very obvious information to dog owners but do not ask that flea and tick treatments are up to date which is important and easy to overlook. Having said all that, thank you for another great holiday!

Mr Buchan October 2020

“Car parking being so far from the house was not ideal, which was not that clear from the original info.”

other than that everything was OK with the cottage. General from Sykes as a company my inbox was overloaded with offers, so call important information, once I had booked the holiday, you can send to much sales and mailer information to new customers that really puts me off using you again, there was no need for up to 2 to 4 mails a day on so called deals.

Mrs Curtis September 2020

“A very clean and cosy cottage with a lovely garden.”

The sitting room was dark, lighter curtains would improve it. Bedroom and bath very tastefully furnished

Ms Slater August 2020

“A lovely cottage, in a lovely village.”

- Ms Slater, August 2020
Mr Yu August 2020

“We had a wonderful time staying here.”

The host was friendly and helpful. The cottage was comfortable, clean and well-equipped. We appreciated the garden at the back, and our toddler loved running around there. We went to Bigbury-on-Sea a few times, which was a lovely beach only a short drive away.

- Mr Yu, August 2020
Mrs Thorpe August 2019

“A very cosy cottage in a quiet location but still within easy reach of lots of great beaches.”

The garden was much bigger than we expected and it was lovely to sit out there for lunches and in the evening.

- Mrs Thorpe, August 2019
Mrs Gilbert August 2019

Mr Scott June 2019

“Could do with a good clean all the cutlery and pots where dirty.”

Great location and wonderful garden. Village pub has good food and is very welcoming

- Mr Scott, June 2019
Mr Harris May 2019

“Only downside for us was the cottage stairs had a rather loose rope hand “ rail” and would be a lot safer being quite steep as well with a static solid hand rail attached to the wall instead, this from the viewpoint of an elderly couple, ( eighty and seventy seven respectively,) Also a warning about possibly being not that suitable for elderly on cottage description.”

- Mr Harris, May 2019

We're glad you enjoyed your holiday at 2 Middle Gabberwell. Since your stay, the owner replaced the rope with a fixed wooden rail. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. Property Owner
