"On arrival we noticed that there was black mould around the patio door in the lounge and the bedroom door and near skirtings and up the backs of the patio and bedroom curtains, the patio door didn’t close fully and part of the trim outside was missing, which didn’t help with damp,the skirtings all around the cottage were thick with dust so were the lamps and bed frames, the kitchen door when it rained the water came in under the door and soaked the coir mat, the sofas and carpets need cleaning along with the curtains to get the mould off, the whole place needs decorating, we rang the office and reported the mould and dust the afternoon we arrived and were thanked, the correct response should have been ‘well send a cleaning team out to wipe this all down’ but nothing, the water heater is a bit dodgy doesn’t keep the water hot, the cottage needs a good thorough deep clean and repaint, we came home with a chest infection and the other one now has a sinus infection due to the mould spores."
It’s a shame as it’s a lovely little cottage. Also be warned that when you come off the main road you travel down a lane for 3/4 mile and it is hair raising to get to the property.

"The property is situated in a lovely valley, with good gardens and outdoor space for children."
it's initial appearance on arrival is very welcoming. However the property would benefit for some TLC, it needs a good clean and is in need of a lick of paint and batteries putting in appliances (clocks / TV remotes).
We did though have a lovely stay though, the property is well equipped and is very comfortable, however it would be worth noting that property does not have Wi-fi, this was an issue when trying look things up or to book activities / trips.
Thanks so much for your feedback. The property is scheduled to be fully decorated at the end of the season.
There is WiFi at the property so I’m not quite sure why you encountered problems but I will definitely look into this.
I genuinely appreciate your feedback, thank you.

"As for nr 4 Keepers Cottage which we stayed in two years ago, the wall cup’ds in the kitchen area are at the wrong height!"
..they might look very stylish but when a cup’d door is open the lower corner is likely to cause a facial injury!
On a separate note we were not able to return the key to the key safe on our departure. The key fob is simply too long! We were obliged to return the key to key box at the ‘office’ ( which was a wooden shed).

"Fantastic accommodation with surrounding area being peaceful and pleasant."
Very well thought out out site and plenty of places to visit within an hour's drive. Only downside was I inherently hid the two way switch for the mezzanine due to my clothes being hung on the coat hooks. Perhaps move the rack to the other side of the mezzanine? I had to switch on the table lamp every evening before returning down the stairs to switch off main light. My fault, but did not occur to me on arrival, although I still feel the coat hook rack is wrongly positioned especially as it acts as a wardrobe. Very accommodating and converted upstairs mezzanine to an extremely comfortable double bed ( think it was King size). Hope to return.

"Excellent little property on a lovely quiet holiday village."
Handy for both parking in Dartmouth (limited to 4 hours in summer) and park and ride near Dartmouth Leisure Centre (would recommend you install the RinGo parking app) machines frequently refuse coins. Keep a supply of 20p pieces for toilets although credit/debit cards accepted. Sainsburys not too far away as is Best Western Hotel at Dartmouth Golf Club where we enjoyed a lovely evening meal.

"The property was exactly as described - beautifully presented and very clean, with all the 'mod cons'."
The young lady at the site Reception ('Erica') was kind, understanding and flexible - allowing us to collect the property key from a secure location, when we knew we would not be able to check in at the suggested time. We also received a couple of courtesy calls from her, to check if we'd arrived ok, and if we needed anything. Furthermore, she called me promptly, when housekeeping staff realised I'd left my raincoat in the cupboard - it had been such glorious weather, I completely forgot about it!! Such a pretty location too! A great stay - thank you!

The village could do with an on onsite bar or cafe. Roads leading to main roads nearby are challenging. A great location for the beautiful surrounding areas to visit.

It is in a great location just a couple of miles outside of Dartmouth. Will definitely be coming back and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

"I stayed at 5 Sykes Cottages for 4 nights, with my wife and two young children."
Firstly the cottage was very comfortable, clean and in a very quiet location. There was building work opposite going on during our stay, but the builders were very considerate and didn’t start early or finish late. In a good location, 5 minutes drive to Sainsbury’s or Lidl and also the park and ride if you want to go into the stunning Dartmouth for the day. Would recommend Blackpool Sands beach which is 10 to 15 minutes drive way. Also Woodlands theme park is close by. Need to be aware that you need to drive everywhere as the lane out of Sykes Cottages is very narrow with no pavement. All in all would recommend and would definitely stay at Sykes Cottages again.
