    What our customers say about their holidays

    • R W - Verified booking

      On arrival we were told that the annex had been sanitized, clearly it had not.

      After a nightmare journey of 7hrs all we wanted to do was to have a shower and relax. Sadly this was not the case, the bathroom was filthy, the toilet was covered in hair and there was human waste around the rim, the shower tray was filthy covered in hair, soap and shampoo scum, the shower surround was little better. The floor was thick with dust and hair. We do not think that this had been thoroughly cleaned in many weeks. The heated towel rail which only came on between 6 and 7 am was thick rust and had clearly leaked in the past. It took us an hour to clean through the property using our own spray and wipes as there was no cleaning materials in the property, not even a hoover. Your information states there was a fridge/freezer in the property, not true, just an old fridge with a small ice box that was thick with ice. The internal door fixings were broken so there was no lower storage area for things like milk etc. The cooker was in a dreadful state along with the pots and pans as well as the kitchen cabinets, and we did not cook anything that week. The cabinet next to the cooker is scorched indicating a possible fire risk. Although there was a washing machine, a iron and ironing board there was no where to dry any washing. There were radiators in the property however there were no heating controls in the property, again they appeared to come on between 6 and 7 am and nothing thereafter, even though the evenings were chilly and the property was cold. There was no information pack in the property, no gas safety certificate for the cooker. We were very surprised there was no wi-fi/internet connection in the property, your property description omitted to inform people of this issue. Over all a thoroughly disappointing week which has cost us a lot of money, rest assured we will not be recommending this particular property. This is the first time we have used accommodation through Sykes Cottages and we certainly will not be using you again if this property is representative of the quality of those on your books.How often do you inspect the properties on your books, to make sure they are maintained to a high standard as this does not do your company any favours. This property needs complete refurbishment to bring it up to an acceptable standard.

    • Stephen - Verified booking

      There is no Wi-Fi and the mobile signal is abysmal, almost non existent.

      The property was clean and modern but quite small and therefore limited storage space by which I mean there was no vacuum cleaner nor mops etc to clean the property so we felt quite guilty not being able to leave without being able to clean properly. There is a smart TV which is quite strange seeing as there is no Wi-Fi but it was quite satisfactory for us. Perhaps an ordinary Freeview TV with DVD would have been a better choice. We did make some suggestions to the owner for ways to improve such as provide a space with table, mirror and chair for ladies to do their make-up. Also a new mattress because the present one is past its best. There is a washing machine but nowhere to hang out the washing. An airer on the patio would have sufficed. We also suggested an information pack would be a nice thing to provide listing of services, attractions, bus routes, etc. We took a bus outside the property to go into the city. It went 4 miles to Shoebury then turned around and came all the way back to where we started before going on in the opposite direction to the city centre. It would have been helpful to have known that! The property was clean and tidy. A parking space is part of the property. The property is in a quiet rural area which suited us perfectly.

    • Stuart - Verified booking

      It was dirty when we arrived.

      We spent the first hour cleaning. The dishwasher only washed with cold water and was mouldy. Downstairs shower screen was unmovable. The cooker had dirty pan in it and didn’t work properly it took 45 minutes to grill some bacon . The garden was very overgrown and the bbq was overgrown so I couldn’t use it. Hall and landing light was constantly turning on and off day and night. House needs curtains in all the bed rooms not just the main bedroom. The house did have welcome pack of milk biscuits and croissants and fresh juice. Lots of cleaning stuff for us to clean . It was only a short walk to the front and a Lidl the other direction. We came home a day early as this was the worst sykescottage we have ever stayed in and we have been using them for nearly 10 years I will make sure I spend more time reading the reviews in future as many of my comments are old problems that other people have said.

    • Jim - Verified booking

      I'll address a few of the former complaints made about this holiday home as well as say broadly I would recommend this house to others, friends and family, should they want to stay in Southend.

      The shower glass downstairs is difficult to move and requires maintenance. The garden is very pleasant, full of vegetables and vegetation but still able to walk around it and enjoy the outdoor space (August). Cannot comment on dishwasher or bbq as didn't try to use them. The beds were comfortable, even the low bunk. Pillows, sheets, towels, kitchen amenities were all good, pots and pans etc all fine in good order and useable. The decor is good, not too much not too little by way of furniture etc. The blinds/curtains situation could be improved: sunlight does stream through so it's worth noting for those affected by such things. Another thing to note, while watching TV at 9pm we were asked by the immediate neighbours to be quieter as the walls are thin and all noise can be heard, so it's definitely worth noting that noises won't be appreciated.

    • Jane - Verified booking

      Great house and garden in good location.

      Garden was lovely and we loved the fresh tomatoes! Really enjoyed our stay here, however there are a few things I feel I need to raise. 1. Drinking glasses - very limited drinking glasses in the house, could definitely do with some more tumbler style. 2. Curtains are definitely needed in back and kids bedrooms. Sun was streaming in back bedroom at sunrise. 3. Hallway light - automatically clicks on and off day and night. 4. Bedsprings are very prominent on mattress on the bottom bunk in kids room. 5. Never found the rack for the bbq 6. No Sky TV as listed. 7. There was also a query before we went whether there was a hot tub which I revived mixed advice on from Sykes when I queried it as it was still on the property description, just to confirm there is no hot tub at the property. Overall had a lovely stay. Many thanks

    Upnor Castle

    This attractive turreted castle is set in the picturesque village of Upnor within an area backed by rolling, wooded hills. The fort was intended to protect both the dockyard and ships of the Royal Navy anchored in the Chatham Dockyard which is a short distance downriver. It entirely failed at this task in 1667, when the Dutch sailed past it to burn or capture the English fleet at anchor.

    Rochester Castle

    Strategically placed astride the London Road, guarding an important crossing of the River Medway, this imposing fortress has a complex history of destruction and rebuilding. Today it stands as a proud reminder of the history of Rochester along with the cathedral and cobbled streets.
