“We had a wonderful stay here in mid October.”
Thank you! The cottage is well placed in Thorpeness - a stone’s throw from the beach and the village pub. And the village is all easily walkable. The cottage itself was stylish and comfortable - we were very happy staying there for a week and would definitely recommend it. The water pressure was great and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped too.

There were a few issues we had though, which are worth sharing to improve the stays for future holidayers. We had specifically requested a travel cot, which had been confirmed by Sykes multiple times, but when we got there there was no sign of one. We eventually found one in a cupboard but it was broken. Thankfully Sykes dropped off another travel cot that we could use, shortly after I’d called to alert them. The other main issue we had was that we couldn’t access the property via the front door! It is operated by a fob, the mechanics of which were simply not working. Thankfully we were able to get into the property with an actual key through the back door for the entirety of our stay. Two other small things - although the heating was good and efficient, several of the radiators were in need of bleeding so weren’t giving off heat. And there was no dishwasher salt or rinse aid provided (the dishwasher had all the alert lights on for these) so we needed to buy some and we left it there for future visitors.
