What our customers say about their holidays

  Great holiday in September! As for the weather, we could hardly have been lucky. Even when the nights were cold, we made ourselves comfortable with the heater / fireplace. The house is fantastically located and only a few meters from the pebble beach. The house has a small, cozy garden and a cute, practical beach house from where you can even see the chalk cliffs. For us as dog owners the fenced garden was worth a lot, as we could open the patio door carefree and the dogs could get in and out. The stairs to the upper floor are quite steep. The double bed is unfortunately only 1.40m wide. Not only the house with garden and the great beach are very dog ​​friendly, but also the pub Zettland Arms directly on the water. There is an evening with a dog with beer and delicious food very relaxed. Attention, reserve table also in low season advisable. We had a lot of contact with different neighbors and they were all very hospitable and helpful. We may also have benefited from the quiet low season. In the area around Kingsdown there are many great destinations. The homeowners have collected a whole folder of tips and information. A small deficit in the house is the lack of Wi-Fi. Basically you can do without it on holiday. But unfortunately we would have to work a bit and were dependent on the Internet. Our conclusion: Definitely recommended! If the entry to England with dog continues to be so easy, we will come back! "

  This property is an older bungalow which is dated.

  It has suffered from a prolonged lack of care and maintenance and is not as shown in your website. In particular the outside and garden have not been maintained and are very overgrown. The bathroom facilities need updating. The en-suite is like a broom cupboard and could not be used by a large person. Both toilet seats are loose and the separate toilet seat is cracked and stained. The conservative roof leaks and is covered in moss. Both ladies were unable to open the door to the washing machine/tumble drier. The sunshade was unusable as the wind blew it around due to incorrect fixing to the base. The overhead light in the back bedroom did not work and is bound up with insulating tape which is unsafe. I have raised all the above points with the owner(Richard) who said he has been away and is not well but this means the poor occupier suffers his inefficiency. He did say he was sorry but this is no recompense to me! This property did not meet my standards and I suggest you inspect the property immediately as I am sure it would not meet yours. Unfortunately the owner is not able to maintain his property as he would wish at the moment. This is the first time I have used Sykes Cottages and unfortunately it may be the last. I have taken photographs but it seems I am unable to upload them to this webpage.

  We booked a very last minute trip to Kent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  Despite only booking 24 hours before, we arrived and the house was spotless. Richard also found time to makeup a cot for our daughter and leave milk (and wine) in the fridge. The location was perfect for us as we wanted something rural and quiet but the house is within a short drive to numerous beautiful beaches and large supermarkets. At the back off the property Richard has a small holdings with pigs and goats which our children enjoyed feeding everyday. The home is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen is equipped with everything we needed as the pubs/restaurants hadn’t opened yet. The garden is vast with plenty of room for children to run around or just sit and enjoy a drink. Beds were large and comfortable. Richard could not have been more helpful or accommodating and we hope to return again in the future. Highly recommended!

  Bungalow was spacious and comfortable.

  It was equipped witth all the things you would need, to cater for six people, including all the pots, pans and serving dishes that would be required to prepare a full roast dinner. The conservatory was spacious and cosy on a sunny afternoon. The picture of the garden on the website seems to show an open garden and is an old photo. The garden is fully enclosed and dog proof and our dog was free to run around without the worry of her escaping. The roads in the immediate area are somewhat narrow in places but there are plenty of passing spaces. Richard the owner met us on arrival and was very friendly and helpful, making sure we knew about all the facilities available. We enjoyed our stay at Glynde, and wiil be rebooking next year.

  We had a most enjoyable week in Fisherman’s Cottage. We found Kingsdown an ideal base from which to tour this corner of England and loved the quiet laid back feel of the place. The cottage was warm and cosy to return to after an outing and was well equipped. The stairs are particularly steep and require some care to negotiate if you are elderly like us but everything else was ideal. It was good having somewhere to park the car and the little garden was most attractive and would be great in warm weather. Having a beach hut was an extra treat and we had a couple of very pleasant mornings there. A cosy cottage, very close to the sea with a pub at both ends of the lane and lovely walks in both directions what’s not to like?!
