"Untidy both front and back but nothing to put us off"
-
"Initial reaction on entering the gated area was disappointment."
It all looked scruffy and uncared for. This sets the mood for everything else. The weeds were terrible and it all looked unloved. Many small snags also put a downer on the stay. The central control switch for the cooker is broken, the taps drip and swivel when turned off, the shaving mirror light didnt work, etc etc. Small item that took the edge what was so nearly a lovely stay. Furnishings and fittings were good, comfortable and generally very clean. Sort the snags and a small input would create far better reviews.

"This accommodation was just perfect comfy well set out could not fault it"

"Had to Clean and Bleach Ground floor Cloakroom floor because of strong Urine smell."
Spent 2 hours having to Unblock and Clean Bath plughole as water just would not drain away, still was not draining correctly. Although the water pressure was extraordinarily low in the shower, the bath still filled up and and backwashed the contents of the drain into the bath. Very unpleasant. Bathroom sink taps both Loose. Second Bedroom double bed is not a double and certainly not suitable for two adults. Patio/Yard Door lock very stiff and awkward. However the property is in a good location and Central to Watchet

"A very presentable modern, clean and comfortable, well equipped home from home."
In a quiet secure gated section smack in the centre of town. Complimentary parking in the adjacent central public car park. An ideal base for exploring all that Somerset and North Devon have to offer. Everything ticked and does what it says on the tin.

"Very nice property."
No problems

"Very nice modern holiday cottage right in the centre of Watchet."
Property had been well prepared and was pleasant to go into. Had all the features and facilities you could expect and as described. Communication with owner was good and we had a nice break there. Watchet is a nice coastal town and everything is within a few minutes walk of the property. Lots of coast and countryside walks nearby.

"We were really disappointed on arrival with the front of house, it is very scruffy (weeds/door/dirty windows)."
Thankfully the sofa and bed were comfortable, and we were happy with many of the kitchen facilities. After a day or so however we soon found that there were some other issues which we don't expect from a Sykes property, the lounge floor hadn't been cleaned, the bath didn't drain so we showered in a few inches of water each day, the bath felt unstable, and the bathroom blind didn't work. The cottage felt very tired, and lacking in basic cleanliness.
-
"Excellent location and proximity to the shops for provisions."
Very well-equipped kitchen. Good to have three televisions. Grateful for the games supplied as these were invaluable on the day when the snowy weather kept us indoors. Double bed in second bedroom was a bit on the small side. Storage was limited and the wardrobe in master bedroom had to be shared. This wouldn't have been a problem for family occupancy. Loose toilet seat in bathroom, which had been mentioned by previous occupants, had still not been fixed. There is no excuse for this. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though, being off-season, many attractions were still closed.

"After many years of short and long stay holidays and business stay aways, I feel the accommodation at 7 Malt House Close was well placed and equipped, however the maintenance and cleanliness was disgraceful."
The urine smelling bathroom, the broken WC seat, the the rotting front door threshold, the weeds and filthy windows. Etc. Is not acceptable. I'm saddened to report this as feed back when in all honesty these issues are failings of basic standards expected.
Thank you for your feedback; cleanliness of course is key to our success and of highest importance to us we are reliant on our local recommended company who prides themselves on high standards and do wish you had contacted us immediately on finding it was not to your satisfaction so we could have addressed your concerns immediately. We have of course passed on this feedback and have also had the property deep cleaned since this review and addressed all the issues mentioned. We hope that you are able to return in the future Property Owner

"I would not recommend for four adults."
The second bedroom is very small and the bed pushed against the wall. Suitable for a couple and a single adult or a couple and children. The cottage living space is small but comfy and all fixtures and fittings etc good quality. Good location and free parking a bonus. I thought the previous reviewer who talked about the plonk might have been a bit precious, we all drink plonk at times, but no this was plonk £4. a bottle, we did not open it. I did laugh when we went to wash up and found the fairy had been so diluted down it was like water.

"Small but comfortable property with brilliant location."
Had several issues with cleanliness in order to have less impact on our stay we resolved this ourselves. The main complaint was the entire laminate floor being filthy. Photos were sent & videos offered to show the level of dirt although Sykes apologised & said that they would have sent a cleaner if we would have reported it straight away. Other than being told they would pass it on to the owner we have heard nothing since. Towels & linen were extremely clean, just feel more attention needed in other areas. Outside area was very dirty so was not used.

"The property location was perfect for our requirements, enhanced by the free parking permit."
It gave easy access to enjoy the friendly Watchet activities eg live music, welcoming pubs, shops and cafes. Property was comfortable, clean, well equipped and the owners very helpful. Exploring further afield was enhanced by the free parking permit in the adjacent car park.. With regard to the accuracy of the listing mark. Not serious but we did find it was not totally clear and needed some small clarification. All was well and would happily book again through Sykes

"Warm & cosy."
Quiet location but central to Watchet, perfect for us. Sheets in second bedroom were bit stained and a few cobwebs here and there. But generally clean. Good selection of books, guides and maps. Would certainly book this cotrage again.
