Parking is right outside the front door on the driveway. Location is great with local shops at the bottom of the road, Totland Bay pier just a short walk away and two bus routes close by. This modern semi-detached house has 3 bedrooms, 2 and a half bathrooms and is clean, very comfortable, spacious, well equipped and decorated to a high standard. There is also a great garden out back. We only used the master bedroom but the two twin bedrooms looked just as good. Highlight for us was the downstairs space comprising large lounge and kitchen diner separated by glass French doors, with large windows at both ends providing plentiful light. Highly recommended.

Questions were provided with rudimentary answers, that gave no indication of effort put into them to provide clear information to make things easier for us. The issue with the bath panel (that we had no part in creating) in particular was incredibly frustrating and meant I ended up spending hours trying to mail, send photos, making phone calls that weren't always answered, and following up on advice that wasn't clear. All the onus of reporting the issue was put on us. This included the request, after I had reported it to customer services, for us to report and manage the issue with the property services team, something which I would have expected to be the responsibility of Sykes Cottages. It put a dampener on our holiday and meant the main bath and shower were unusable for half our stay. For a party of 5, including 2 Autistic teenagers, this wasn't exactly ideal. House great, but Sykes Cottages could have done a lot better to provide a good level of service.
