"Unfortunately we had to cancel our holiday at short notice."
Unable to get hold of Sykes or the insurance company to put in a claim. Left messages on chat and found no number where I could actually speak to a real person.
No response to my “live chat” requesting advice.
My husband is having a pacemaker fitted next week.
The owners were very understanding. However not only have we lost a significant amount of money we’re
extremely disappointed with lack of customer services in the Sykes organisation and so called Insurance.
Tel Nos non existent and non responsive. Nothing but recorded messages and options not serviced by anyone.
We’ve been left high and dry. We booked our holiday last year May 23 and were looking forward to it so very much.

"Very nice purpose built holiday cottage."
Immaculately clean, everything looked new and shiney! Well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and super cosy duvet. Would have liked bigger bath towels. Great location for exploring the area on foot or by car. Very doggy friendly. Could have done with some more information about the area, leaflets on places to visit, local walks etc. Very few extras provided, no tea or milk, dog bowls etc. Most cottages I've stayed in provide this but I take my own just in case. After a 6 hour drive I needed a brew. Although there was a nice bottle of wine! The little conservatory gets really warm and is great for muddy boots and soggy coats. Personally I'd have put a little sofa in there as it was a lovely spot to sit and look out over the fields. Luckily I was blessed with sunshine all week. But it was cold so the generous supply of logs for the log burner was much appreciated. As a bonus I was allowed to let my dog have a run about in the adjacent enclosed field which he loved. It's a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Well worth a visit.

"Cliff Barn is a super holiday cottage, perfectly situated 100 yards from the South West Coastal Path, and just a few minutes from the beach in one direction and the delightful village in the other."
It is really well kitted out for two (plus one dog!!) with everything you need for a relaxing week away from it all, and the small garden area ideal for relaxing or just letting the dog out last thing at night!! For a small property you had the choice of three tables to sit and read or eat or play games at, in the main open plan room, the porch area or outside. We loved being able to explore on foot so easily and even if you did want a change of scenery, there is so much nearby. The furthest we explored in a week was to Lyme Regis just 20 or so minutes away, and West Bay, Bridport and Abbotsbury are much nearer. We didn’t even need the Morrisons at Bridport as we had arranged a delivery for the day of arrival. The owners were very welcoming and often greeted us whilst pottering about in their garden next door, and had also kindly left a bottle of wine for us on arrival.
We were perhaps fortunate that the weather was a little cooler for our week, as one very small idea would be to have an umbrella in the garden to provide a bit more shade. We have rebooked already for 2024.

The owners are friendly and welcoming. The accommodation is modern, spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's peaceful setting is perfect for a relaxing break. It has safe private parking alongside the property, and a small enclosed garden which is mostly paved with a raised grass area.

The village has 2 pubs, a well stocked shop, and post office store, all are a short downhill walk away.

"The minimalistic design is just right for holiday accommodation."
Everything needed for a relaxing stay is provided and the standard of cleanliness is extremely high. It is much appreciated by this recent guest and I certainly hope to stay again. The area is excellent for walkers and Burton Bradstock, just a few minutes down the hill, is a quintessential Dorset village with much of architectural interest. Many walks start here and it is great fun exploring the area without the noise of traffic and lots of people. Walking the coast path is less pleasant though, due to the high number of other walkers and an ever increasing number of ugly holiday chalets and static caravans stretching out from the beach well in to the surrounding countryside, spoiling the views. Thank goodness for the protected National Trust land!
