“The location of the cottage is lovely and very peaceful.”

It had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The short walk to the beach is a real bonus, particularly for those with dogs, and the views across to the mainland are stunning. The walk back up to the cottage is quite steep in parts which is worth bearing in mind if anyone in the party has mobility issues. However, there are two car parks nearby where you can access the beach directly if need be.

“We had a wonderful holiday, very comfortable stay.”

It's in a great location that feels rural but close enough to amenities. The kids have asked if we can go back next year!! Thank you

- Ms Addison, August 2019
“When we arrived I had to set to cleaning the kitchen, including the floor.”

All the paint work in the place needed wiping down bit as I on holiday I just wiped the dirty hand prints off the door to the downstairs toilet and the sticky banister on the stairs. The Hoover was left absolutely full of dirt. The pantry cupboard just turned my stomach over and was never used. Overall the place is tired and could do with some maintenance.

The Owners have been very concerned that the housekeeping has recently fallen below standard and a new team has now been appointed to ensure this much loved cottage will be enjoyed by all future guests' Owner relations
“Having stay in this property 4 times, this year I felt standards had fallen slightly.”

There was dirty finger marks on doors and paintwork. Bedroom window blind broken so put a bath towel over the window at night. Dog poo on the garden. Someone tried to park a car behind ours, when I went outside they drove off, think the owner should consider a private parking sign. On plus side outdoor furniture is first class, but the old stuff is still in garden, looks a mess. This is a lovely house, in a peaceful area, we have enjoyed our stays there. Hope these issues can be resolved, such a comfortable house, very welcoming.

“We have stayed in this cottage three times before and love the cottage but we felt there was a falling off of standards regarding several small details which, considering the amount of money we paid for the week, gave the impression of penny pinching and impersonality.”

For instance, there was no hand soap or towels in the toilets which meant that after a long journey we were obliged to unpack our cases before using the bathrooms, also there were no spare toilet rolls in the bathrooms. This was a cottage for five guests but clearly our money did not stretch to providing sufficient toilet roll for the week and there was nothing in the way of a hospitality pack awaiting us, not even a single tea bag. No dish cloth or washing up brush, no cloth in the bathroom to rinse out the bath with. The wifi code was written on a torn scrap of paper. I could go on.... One other detail which became an annoyance was the fact that the door key was difficult to use. Unfortunately for us but obviously no fault of Sykes was the fact that the week we were staying was also the week chosen to close the road outside so we were obliged to park a long distance away and every morning we were woken early by workmen stripping the Tarmac and resurfacing the lane. Definitely not conducive for a relaxing holiday.

“Sweet little cottage in a quiet area - good for walkers.”

But the cottage was tatty and not clean when we arrived. I wouldn’t recommend booking it.

- Mrs Wood, May 2019
“Such a lovely cottage, quiet peaceful location.”

- B Daley,
“Homely and comfortable in a very quiet and peaceful area.”

Beautiful walks and amazing views nearby. The internet connection was weak although I personally thought that a bonus.

“The cottage was clean and tidy.”

The carpets and furniture a bit tired but it suited us, you don't want a prestine cottage if you go on holiday with a dog. I loved the side entrance with the little hall where we could off our shoes and coats. The kitchen worked well for our needs.

- Brunilda Eyre,
“Silva was a real home from home and in a really good location close to lovely walks.”

- ,
“Silva is very unpretentious, being basically an end terrace house but with its ground floor extension it is surprisingly roomy and it has a wonderful homely feel and masses of character.”

It is lovingly furnished with personal touches, more like a home and not like a holiday let, for example, some beautiful local art works on the walls. The kitchen is equipped with top quality electrical goods. I was delighted with the iron bedsteads and was very appreciative of the top quality electric blankets. The area around the cottage is incredibly quiet and peaceful and very beautiful and rural.
