“The Old Stables is a fantastic cottage.”

The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you'd every want and more, the lounge is extremely comfortable. We were blessed with great weather so we're able to enjoy the wonderful garden and amazing views. The Cottage has a handy boot/utility room where you can store your bicycles or your sandy buckets and spades from a day on the beach. Thank you again for an other wonderful holiday.

“Owner of the cottage really helpful with places to go which were dog friendly including beaches and places to eat.”

A really peaceful and quiet setting for the cottage -was just what we all needed .

“The holiday itself was as good as ever - we've been taking short early year breaks at this property for over 10 years.”

My issue is with Sykes itself, as expressed in a number of phone calls and shortly to follow-up formally by email. In that we were charged a full week's rental for a 3 night break, despite the cottage accepting short breaks and in all previous years having been charged on a pro-rata basis. I was not given appropriate information at the time of booking (that the price quoted didn't include paying the Good Housekeeping Bond up front, as had previously been the case, which disguised that you were charging me for a full week and that wasn't pointed out either) and in follow-up calls to establish why misinformation, i.e. I was told the cottage owner no longer accepted short breaks - she does (it's in the cottage description, and the owner herself confirmed to me she still did); and then that the owner had set a minimum amount they were prepared to accept, which again on following-up with the owner, she advised me was complete rubbish. It was a sad day when Helpful Holidays became part of the Sykes Group.

Thank you for your feedback, your comments have been flagged and we are working to a resolution with our Customer/Owner relations team. We will be in touch soon but if you do feel like you have more to add in the meantime, don't hesitate to call. We are open 7 days a week from 9 until 7pm. Owner relations

“Our third visit to The Old Stables.”

It is comfortable ,spacious and well equipped. We particularly like the large enclosed garden which was ideal for our dog. The locality of the cottage is excellent for visiting nearby towns and attractions.The owner , Mrs Tregellis was very welcoming and friendly. Thouroghly enjoyed our holiday and would consider visiting this property again.

“The kitchen, dining area and bedrooms were lovely.”

The living room was OK but the sofa was very uncomfortable. The upstairs bathroom was OK but would benefit from another shower. The downstairs toilet and shower were not pleasant to use. The shower was too small and there were lots of spiders in this room and I and my husband were unable to use it, as we felt uncomfortable, our friend, however, did use it. This shower room was inside the house but felt like an outhouse when using it. The garden was lovely, as were the owners who brought us our morning paper every day.

“Just absolutely great for those who are looking for detox, quiet beauty and solitude in the country.”

Many thanks to Patricia and her husband for their gracious welcoming and attention to little details. Marina
