• "An amazing apartment with fab views of the Ilfracombe coast."

  Apartment was spacious, beautifully equipped and spotlessly clean- we would stay here again and definitely recommend it. Best self catering property we have stayed in.

• "The apartment was lovely."

  It has been finished to a high standard. There does not appear to any corners cut in the facilities provided. Our only issue is with the information provided by the website as to getting keys. We printed the info on our laser printer but the typeface used came out as light grey making hard to read. The telephone numbers on it were completely missing. The info said to go to level 4 in the lift. That should be level 3. Another apartment had put a small label next to their floor which might be useful. We couldn’t find the cutlery drawer as we were not expecting to look for a drawer within a drawer. Overall the apartment was lovely and we would stay again if we visited Ilfracombe again.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at 5 Arlington Villas."

  The apartment was superb; modern, clean, spacious and in a great position with lovely sea views. We have already recommended it to our friends and family. We really could not fault it - however not to detract from it, an outside balcony light would be a nice touch.

• "This is a delightful modern and immaculately clean apartment."

  Overlooking the front it has spectacular sunsets and you are only a short walk from the charming harbour and some excellent pubs and restaurants. We had a blocked sink which was rectified within 2 hours of reporting it. This was our second stay at the property and we will go again. A gem.

• "What an amazing apartment."

  Lovely decor, very modern and clean. Very well equipped kitchen and lots of nice touches like games and buckets and spades. Fantastic location right in the heart of Ilfracombe meaning we didn't need to use the car. Will definitely be back.

• "This booking was for a disabled lady looking for a week away with daughter, I didn’t see the steps at the front but main concern no banister rail to help up the stairs."

  When we arrived the property was not fully cleaned, a lot of food marks left from previous guest, dirty pans, oven was really dirty, hob not clean and we had to fully clean the main areas ourselves , however thanks you for sending the cleaners on Friday, ( Who informed me that they were shop staff and not cleaners ) To confirm this property was left spotless compared to how we received it, on leaving 22nd July These pointed of concern are 1-All plates full of food marks and stains. 2-Pans and oven Trays all dirty 3-Bathroom tiles and shower stained and not clean with some hair left via last occupiers. 4- Oven left dirty with food residue on 5- Windows thick of dust and not clean also all the decking all dirty full of bird lime ect 6- Can not sat for sure but felt like there had been dogs in the property, due to allergies been set off all week. It was a non pet property so I am told. We paid over £1400 pounds for this week stay, I felt it was over priced for the area, but the view was nice. There is a apartment adjacent, street level with conservatory, it was occupied with 10 people and 4 screaming kids all evening till 1am some nights. So if you want peaceful it isn’t as peaceful as it looks. I am unsure I would return, not a lot to do other than walks, 2/3 days is the max you need here, Cornwall is a much better area to stay, but couldn’t get in this week. Regards

  Thank you for your feedback. As you mention, the cleaners did go round to attend to any issues. Unfortunately there is little we can do about noisy neighbours, but we have never had this comment before so hope it won't happen again. - The Owner Relations Team Property Owner

  )It was very comfortable although we did have a problem with the heating which we reported, hopefully this will be sorted before the weather deteriorates any further.

• "The apartment was lovely."

  Spacious & great views. The only negatives centre around the ‘combi’boiler which let us down mid week and meant we were unable to have showers in the morning. This was fixed in the afternoon following phone calls with Mark the owner. The other associated issue was heating controls - high tech Hive technology but controlled by Mark via his PC. Simple heating / HW controls in the apartment would be welcome.

• "We were a little disappointed with Sykes on arrival as they had given us outdated information for entering the building and we had to phone twice for the correct codes."

  Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear you had an issue with the key codes upon entering the property. We can see this was rectified for you as quickly as possible once contact was made and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Property Owner

• "This is an excellent apartment with fantastic views and a touch of luxury, private parking space and everything you could need."

  we had a small issue with the boiler which was quickly resolved, communication regarding the issue was very good from both the cleaning company and the owner. another slight niggle was the windows had not been cleaned in a while so i actually cleaned part of them to enjoy the view! also the oven shelves had not been cleaned properly, minor issues and didn't spoil the experience. I would highly recommend this apartment but as the price for next year has gone up 50%!!! i would look elsewhere unfortunately.

• "This is the second time we have stayed at 5 Arlington Villas."

  last time was in October 2020 but the weather was bad and not many places open. But the apartment was brilliant. This year very good weather and most places open had a great time and some really lovely meals. We saw some fantastic sunsets from the balcony, perfect way to end an evening. As before apartment was spotless. Had a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. We will be using Sykes again.

• "A wonderful apartment in a great location with sweeping sea views."

  The apartment is finished to a high specification. Most importantly for a winter holiday it is warm with individual room controls and massive radiators in the main room. The only negative was poor communication about the car park. The numbers we were sent by Sykes were wrong and no one pointed out that we could use the fob on the set of house of house keys - we worked it out after few days of fiddling with number pads.

• "Yes! I feel I should point out that the entry codes you provided on "Your Key Collection Details" were incorrect but, corrected by Angela Encarnacao."

  The lift also stops at floor 3 for apartment 5! Detail on your website should include that the kitchen hob is an induction hob and not suitable for use by people with pacemakers! In addition - the following should be passed to the relevant people of the property:- 1 - Dishwasher was loaded with dirty crockery, glasses and cutlery when we arrived! 2 - Toilet seat in en-suite had loose fixings. 3 - Light on either side of mirror in en-suite needs light bulbs. 4 - Condition of refuse area disgusting, I took photograph which I can forward to you if necessary! 5 - Finally - the information folder provided is in a state of disrepair, and needs updating!

• "Lovely apartment, very modern and clean."

  The heating was a bit erratic, too warm at times. We could not control it, even though we turned it down, it would bounce back to high all the time. The main bathroom was the coldest because the towel rail kept going off. However we stayed an extra 3 days, as we loved the people and the area. Would go back again, perhaps in the summer.

• "Apartment was superb, extremely clean and had everything we could possibly need."

  To look out over the sea whilst eating breakfast was lovely and the weather was warm, dry and sunny. The apartment was quite "high tech" and we did need to telephone Angela once with a question and we had a good laugh as a few other people had also had to telephone to ask "where the cutlery drawer" was !!! We loved staying there and felt that the people of Ilfracombe were very friendly and welcoming. We walked everyday for quite long walks and to breathe fresh air was a bonus. We both came back feeling regenerated.

  It needs the air temperature controls to actually work. The whole flat was to hot, no matter how we much we tried to follow the instructions and request a lower temp. Best place was the main entrance lobby, nice and COOL.

• "It was a bit disappointing not to find a hair dryer!"

  The car park barrier did not open from the inside automatically - so you have to be agile with the code! Apart from that, the location is very good and the parking place is a big advantage. The fixtures and fittings are all of a very high standard and seem hardly to be used. In all, an excellent holiday let.
