• "We found No 6, as last year, home from home- relaxing and comfortable with everything one needs to enjoy a lovely holiday including being allowed to bring our dog."

  The shower room door certainly needs some attention as it catches on the floor every time one opens and closes it. Unlike other holiday cottages that we have stayed in in the past No 6 has plenty of china, cutlery, and glasses which makes the use of the dish washer less frequent and life more relaxed. The only downside of our holiday was that we failed to book No 6 for two weeks initially. We look forward to coming again

  Thank you so much for letting us know about the door. I've asked the cleaners to have a look at it and get back to me. I'm delighted you enjoy coming! Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay with our 2 dogs."

  Perfect location above the causeway. Suntrap terrace perfect for watching people & dogs enjoying the beach & sea. The apartment was well equipped (home from home). Unfortunately the lift was restricted to luggage only, whilst we were there meaning 4 flights of stairs to get back to the car park. Fortunately, we were able to access beach by going through club terrace on to the slip road (only 2 stairs) so it didn't detract from our enjoyment. Although the apartment is advertised as ground level the complex is set into a cliff, and the apartment is on the lowest level so I wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility issues. Thoughtfully the owner phoned during our stay to check everything was ok. We liked it so much we hope to go again next year.

  Thank you for your comments, we're so pleased to know you had a lovely stay. We'd like to reassure you and other visitors that we haven't had a problem with the lifts since then. The lifts were fine, but the maintenance company were short staffed due to illness and we didn't want anyone taking a risk if there was even the smallest chance the engineer might be slow responding in an emergency. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Property Owner

  Outside very disappointing. Table and chairs fine. Only one sun chair usable two others broken. No table to put drinks on. Four people could not have sunbathed..

  I'm so sorry. We haven't had much sunshine so the sun loungers hadn't been checked. There should be a small drinks table and I'm sorry if it's disappeared. Thank you for letting me know and I'll look into it. Property Owner

• "Wonderful apartment amazing views - sadly we had builders next door all week which apparently the owner wasn’t aware of which spoilt things a bit with lots of banging / crashing & drilling !"

  So check with the owner first !!!! Otherwise perfect

  I can only apologise. I'd understood the work would be finished by the time of your stay. When we spoke you said that the noisiest part was over and you seemed very tolerant of the situation. Please come again so we can make amends and show you how peaceful it is normally! Property Owner

• "Apartment location with the views was fabulous."

  Very well equipped. Appreciate that there is not much time to do deep clean after each booking, however we found dust/dirt around beds, underneath furniture and remnants of previous stays food in the cupboards. Cream sofa looked like it required a clean, as did the runner mat in the main bedroom. Not complaining, just saying it could do with a thorough clean in-between stays. Would stay again, but not through Sykes. Found it difficult to get basic information prior to the holiday and access to messages. Paid for parking on council car park only to find that 2 cars could be parked in the allocated parking space. Had enquired about this prior to the stay and no mention that 2 cars could park. Also requested in advance for double bed to be made into 2 singles. This was not done.

  I'm so sorry you found it less than perfect. By this stage in the season there may be things that need attention and if so, my apologies. I hope you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner

• "Having been to these apartments for many years, we were disappointed at the appearance of the doors into the building."

  We were also concerned that those doors were actually broken and insecure. The beds were very comfortable and sizeable. The kitchen was excellently stocked. We’ve never stayed in a ground floor flat and we absolutely loved it - the terrace was brilliant and so close to the beach - our little dog loved it too!! We had a wonderful week - we’d like to come back next year and stay for a fortnight assuming the price stays manageable.

  My apologies for the external doors. They were damaged in the recent stormy weather and we expect to have them repaired soon. I'm so glad you enjoyed your holiday though. Property Owner

• "Very comfortable, well equipped apartment with lovely views."

  Be aware if your mobility is limited that there are 11 steps down from the carpark to the building before you get to a lift to take you 2 floors down to ground floor level. Also we thought the balcony picture with the little gate in next to the cafe seating was this apartment but it wasn’t, so less helpful for dog walking access. Fantastic location for beach goers, and pretty scenery round and about. Owner very helpful. A good find.

  I'm so glad you enjoyed your holiday in spite of your worries about access. Thank you for your Review. Property Owner

  The apartment itself is really lovely. Decorated so beautifully and stocked with everything you could possibly need, whilst also being comfortable and homely.

• "Had a great 14 day holiday at this wonderful beachside apartment."

  This was certainly helped by full sunshine in the 20’s for most of each day up and some days up to 9 o’clock in the evening. Could not have picked a better time weather wise to be their and sat in the patio overlooking the beach every day. Apartment was well presented on arrival on 1st July 2022 with all amenities you need for a short stay. Wonderful views from the patio looking over towards Burgh Island and even though we have been to the complex before it is still fascinating watching the tide coming in on two sides and meeting if tide high enough The beach itself is sandy and a haven for dog owners and our Yorkie was in his element when on the beach, he did on a couple of occasions take it upon himself to climb up onto the rocks just in front of the apartment but was not in danger and luckily could not escape. Only downside was that the owner of the apartment above allowed his family believed to be grandsons and friends totalling 7 male teenagers to stay a few days after we arrived that resulted in a couple of nights lack of sleep as they were shouting/arguing that appeared to be alcohol related throughout the night. For whatever reason they seemed to have to drag chairs across the tiled flooring until around 4 am. We spoke to the gentleman who ran the restaurant and Spa/Swimming pool who had also had issues with a couple of them and he had asked them to leave the Swimming Pool due to lack of respect. The night after it all went quiet!!!!!!!!! and thankfully stayed that way. Whilst this was annoying it would not prevent us from returning as could not fault anything with the apartment or facilities and their behaviour was certainly not the fault of the owner of the apartment. Visited the Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth as this was just over an hours drive each way as we were unable to do so when last at the Causeway in 2020 as the Sanctuary was closed due to COVID restrictions and this was a lovely day trip. Generally had a great time, it went to quick and can’t wait to return next year. Colin and Nicola West Wittering

• "Location superb as expected but access not so easy for loading/unloading and doors extremely heavy, particularly the front door."

  Balcony very overlooked so didn’t make as much use of it as I expected to. Apartment very well equipped. Beds extremely comfortable with quality linen. Milk,tea,coffee and biscuits an unexpected pleasure. Plenty of hot water and pressure excellent. Cleanliness not perfect. Areas missed in bathrooms, remote controls. Light pulls in the bathrooms not the most hygienic, in covid times. Power cut on Sunday meant the broadband needed resetting - booklet easily found and after a couple of attempts was achieved. Washing machine instruction booklet missing? Overall a lovely stay. Thank you

  Thank you for your feedback. Some of the doors, particularly the front door, are heavy but it's a requirement that we have self closing fire doors. There are door wedges so you can keep them open while loading and so on. I'm sorry if you felt overlooked. Having people on the balconies above is the one down side to our big terrace. I'll mention the bathroom cleaning to the firm who look after the apartment and I apologise if it wasn't completely sparkling - it should have been. And I'll try to replace the washing machine instructions. Thank you. – The owner Property Owner

• "Love coming back to Burgh Island each year."

  The flat is very comfortable. Sybil is very welcoming. I think personally it could do with an update as it is very expensive now and other flats have been refurbished. Balanced against that is the acceptance of dogs and that feels unfussy and welcoming. I would like to make a general point about the flats which I think should be raised with the committee, my brother has a severely disabled daughter and there are no ramps in the outside areas. He has to heave her heavy wheelchair up all the steps to access the swimming pool, the outside, the flats themselves and the dining area. We come every year and he has been doing this for 11 years. There are many people with disabilities and I think this is an equal rights issue. Could you let me know if this has been passed on.

• "We have stayed in various apartments within the complex."

  No 6 had its excellent points and some disappointing ones for our visit. It was disappointing due to its lack of cleanliness. The kitchen counters were not clean and the floor, despite having been damp when we went in was dirty. Our feet became brown. I had to clean the table, work surfaces and floor. The edges around the carpet have not been cleaned for a good while with lots of dust accumulated. I could not find the attachments for the hoover to do it. I spoke to the owner of the property about the cleanliness and she was apologetic and said she would speak with the cleaners. A modern mop would help visitors to clean after themselves or their dogs more effectively. Having said that, the kitchen was very well equipped with high-quality kitchen equipment. The oven and hob were very clean and properly equipped. Plenty of quality glasses and plates are available. The wifi is fast and you can stream movies to multiply devices easily. The TV is a smart TV so it's easy to access whatever accounts you have. The owner also provides access to NetFlix. The verandah is lovely to sit out on and enjoy the wonderful views. The padded seat covers could do with a clean. I washed some of them. The beds and bedding were clean and very comfortable. The double bed is 6ft wide. The towels were high quality and the hot water plentiful. We had a few cold days and the underfloor heating was very effective at keeping the chill off. A rug or two on the floor might give a more homely feel to the room and some mats at the doors (there were none) might help to keep some of the sand and dirt out.

  Thank you for your feedback.  I'm so very sorry you had do some cleaning on arrival. Had I known in time I'd have asked the cleaners to come back and put things right. I've been in touch with them, passing on your comments and asking them to make sure things are brought up to scratch. My daughter has also just spent her holiday week making sure things were being done properly. I'm glad you found it well equipped and that the Wi-Fi and TV worked well (a door mat and a better mop are a good idea and I'll try to send them down). I'm sorry we failed to come up to our usual standard on this occasion and I hope it won't prevent you coming again. Property Owner

• "Booked the day before travel, so unsure really what to expect."

  We were stunned on arrival with the location of the property, we had with us our dog & 3 year old Grandson, everybody was catered for including playing Ker Plunk which I haven’t done for 40+ years! A really beautiful well maintained property. The village itself is lovely and quiet, the only thing that needs to be pointed out, is there are no shops, so it’s best to get any provisions required in the well stocked general store in St Ann’s Chapel before arriving at the apartment. We never normally holiday or take breaks in the Uk, after this visit to this amazing place, I think we will be doing it again!

• "This was our fourth visit to apartment 6 which is faultless."

  However, the restaurant facilities on site are now very poor. We stayed 1st week in September but as far as the service from the restaurant goes it already felt like mid-winter. Advertised 'specials' e.g. Tues 2 for 1 steak night were cancelled without communication, the menu and resultant food was poor and on one occasion when attempting to get a meal at 5:30 (when the restaurant is supposed to open until 8pm in September) I was told that the chef had been sent home as "it did not seem very busy". This may sound like a small gripe but it is very difficult the get food in the area without a considerable drive. The local 'Bay View Cafe' has been shut for 2 years now and although the Pilchard Inn offers burgers and Pizzas access is reliant on the tide and vagaries of a 'Sea Tractor'. The nearest food shop and pub where access does not rely on tide times are 2.5 miles away along a narrow road with lots of traffic.

  Ensuites very good. The beauty of being right on the sea front and watching the tides part to each side of the island to form a very broad causeway (and link to very large sandy beaches either side gives endless enjoyment). the big ground floor terrace was a bonus. Nice BBQ. Downside, no mobile signal at all until 2-3 miles away for us so hard to handle work. Wifi in apartment. Beach not crowded, not even on Bank Hols, and simple surf and paddle board hire facilities. Kite boarding and canoeing also good here. Club House great and little pool next to it for rainy days
