    “The property itself was as described and clean, well maintained and spacious and had plenty of equipment in the kitchen.”

    The garden is well maintained and there are also good views across the estuary. The house is relatively modern but we found the sound insulation left much to be desired as sounds travelled easily between rooms. It was in a small village but the location itself is quite suburban and is much closer to other properties than the photos suggest. It's also not far from fairly built up and industrial areas so not really a rural idyll but convenient for some facilities. What wasn't disclosed by ...

    The garden is well maintained and there are also good views across the estuary. The house is relatively modern but we found the sound insulation left much to be desired as sounds travelled easily between rooms. It was in a small village but the location itself is quite suburban and is much closer to other properties than the photos suggest. It's also not far from fairly built up and industrial areas so not really a rural idyll but convenient for some facilities. What wasn't disclosed by either the owners or Sykes cottages was that the next door property, which is only a couple of metres away from this house, is undergoing major and, at times, very noisy refurbishment. This significantly disturbed our holiday on several days and we believe that both parties have a duty to advise those renting the property about the works in advance. We have made a complaint with photographs and videos which is unresolved. The extent of the works suggests this will continue for the rest of this holiday season. Possibly we were unlucky with the type of works being carried out when we stayed but future customers should be aware of this.

About the location

BRAUNTON

Croyde 5 miles; Barnstaple 6 miles; Woolacombe 9.5 miles.

Braunton is a village in North Devon, situated right at the centre of the North Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and incorporating Braunton Burrows, the largest area of sand dunes in Europe, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. A couple of miles from the village is Saunton Sands beach, a three-mile stretch of beautiful west-facing sandy beach, backed by the sand dunes. Stroll along the beach, enjoy the surfing, or have a leisurely picnic. Just five minutes around the headland is Croyde Bay an excellent surfing beach, and round the next headland is Woolacombe Bay, another 3 mile stretch of beautiful sandy beach. There are some fabulous golf courses in the area including Saunton, Portmore or Royal North Devon golf courses. The South West Coast Path from Braunton to Instow follows part of the Tarka Trail along the estuary of the River Taw. This is part of North Devon’s Biosphere Reserve and much of the route follows old railway trackbeds, which now serve as an easy level route for walkers as well as cyclists. An understated part of Devon, with plenty to do for coast and country lovers alike.
