Sunnycote Reviews

There was a slight hiccup at checkin but the owner was very helpful and sorted this out straight away. The property is very homely with loads of space and plenty of bathrooms. We had a very relaxing long weekend, a shop a minute away, pubs & cafes at the bottom of the road and lots of lovely walks from the doorstep.

Sunnycote was an ideal location and an excellent space for our family gathering. There were ample rooms, comfy beds and generally good facilities. The property is let down by an inadequate cleaning regime for changeover and poor maintenance. The connection between Sykes and the landlord was poor since the gas cooker had an issue that we reported but was neither attended to nor any feedback provided. This restricting our cooking options. To wash, dry and changeover 15 beds in 6 hours as well as clean the place was a tall order for a single cleaner and hence lots of areas were not cleaned, bins left from previous guests, dog poo in garden etc We had a great stay but attention to these housekeeping issues would have made it easier on us and brought the place up to the standard expected for holiday accommodation. Sykes should also review their process for handling customer issues. Better was expected from an established large holiday rental company!

The owner wasn't expecting us not a problem we worked it out between us to make it happen. Loved the fact the it was very rustic so didn't feel on edge with children running about I mean this in a nice way. For the size of the house and the people it can cater for, kitchen isn't very big, dish washer works but the inside holders are broke, the dining area it very cluttered but we got over it. Bedrooms bathrooms fab, beds comfy. We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. P S the garden was very muddy luckily we brought old towels for the dogs paws.

Rachel

This is a beautiful old house, really well situated but from a comfort perspective it fell below our expectations. The main issue was the heating. We could not get the house heated to a reasonable temperature. Raising the thermostat made little difference and at best the radiators felt luke warm. And the bathrooms were Baltic. Another thing we found was that a couple of the gas rings on the hob would not light. Less vital but a nice to have would have been Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms Hair dryers For longer stays a washing machine and tumble dryer would be of benefit for big families who because of the outstandingly beautiful area may end up with muddy or sandy clothing

Plug sockets falling off walls, no access to the internet even with password given and when we turned up the draining board was full aswell as the dishwasher with pots. No instructions or welcome pack or number to contact of where we were ment to leave rubbish and used bedding and towels or how to get access to the WiFi. The beds were extremely comfy though.

Good old property. Spacious and well furnished.

Sharon

We had a good holiday. There was plenty of space for all of us. The local shop was very close and we liked the village. There were lots of places for us to walk the dogs, we enjoyed the surrounding area. The only thing I would have liked was a house book, which is normally available. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at sunny cote again

The cottage has a lovely feel and has everything you need in it. Communication was excellent. Its a great space to take family and friends. We had 8 adults, 5 kids, a baby, two dogs and had no issues with space. Its in a fantastic location just a short walk from the beach and pub. Would highly recommend staying there and Im sure we will be booking again.
