“A spacious and well equipped house, great for the 3 generations of our family.”

Bathrooms were spotless and the children loved the large, walled garden. A couple of people in the group commented that their mattresses were too soft and the divan in our room was quite a bit wider that the mattress on top of it - a bit odd. A couple of days into our holiday we had a problem with the security gates, friendly staff at Lyme Bay Holidays (not Sykes) dealt with the issue quickly and efficiently.

“Manor Lodge is large house with plenty of room and a large walled garden.”

Perfect for our family group of 10 and we have stayed here three years running. On the downside, we arrived to see the rubbish and food waste from the previous occupants overflowing; the bin capacity is far too small. Operating the second dishwasher blew the fuses. But I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE NOT TO BOOK THROUGH SYKES COTTAGES. To reserve the house for 2027, I mistakenly clicked on ‘reserve for £10’ on the Sykes website. The next day I noticed on two other sites the house was available for £3100+. With Sykes the weekly price had increased from £3236 this year to £3814 for 2027. Almost £600 more! I tried to cancel but was told it was more than 24 hours so I could not cancel without paying another £1200! I called Sykes to complain that I had made a mistake but only got automated bots. Once I got an unhelpful person called Fjona who hung up on me when I asked to speak to her supervisor. So much for ‘training and monitoring’! Messaging Sykes just gets AI replies. I have had trouble with Sykes before. They rely on the original ‘Sykes’ name to convey the personal touch but Sykes was bought out years ago by private equity and the overriding profit motive. The staff are hundreds of miles away and know nothing about their properties beyond what their website says, the worse example of a modern unhelpful letting company that just wants to take your money using trickery for the unwary. I am preparing a complaint of overcharging to the Trading Standards Authority and won’t being using Sykes again.

“This is a great house with a superb high-walled garden for children to run around in.”

Very spacious. Excellent and spotless en suite facilities and a large well provisioned kitchen. There were some minor problems: no food waste bin provided, (whoever the local caretaker is, he/she keeps a very low profile), leaking water on the pantry floor, apparently from the freezer. Also the dishwasher tilts alarmingly when being loaded. It needs anchoring, perhaps. The agency - Sykes Cottages - seems to be a collection of the usual robotic types located several hundred miles away who know nothing about the property - quite normal in this digital age.

“It was an excellent stay and our second at this house.”

The only thing I would say is that we had to bring our own BBQ which is not very good for such a high end property. There were 2 BBQs in a chalet but we didn't know if these were for guest use - I emailed Sykes to ask but had no reply.

“We had a lovely holiday at Manor Lodge.”

The welcome pack was much appreciated and the grandchildren loved the garden.

“We were a group of 7 singles looking for somewhere to stay, play music and enjoy walking and trips.”

Manor Lodge was perfect, with the addition of a small Airbnb place 50 yards along the road for the 7th person. With 6 huge bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen, plenty of socialising space downstairs, a lovely garden and walking distance of the beach it could not have been better.

“We really enjoyed staying at Manor Lodge, it was a perfect location with an easy walk to Hive Beach and to the village.”

The house was very well equipped, specially in the kitchen department (although a few more mugs would have been handy, we used them so often). The sitting room/dining room was perfect for socialising as well as eating, we appreciated the games and books provided. The bedrooms were super-comfy with a bathroom each - plenty of space for 8 of us. One word of caution - don't arrange to eat at the Anchor pub until you've checked the prices ...

“A great location for a large grown up family with three generation.”

“The house is far better than the photos suggest.”

The garden in particular is a thing of wonder. It is generally well maintained but the door on the master bedroom does not close and the fridge was quite grubby inside when we arrived. Also the previous guests had not put the bins out so some were very full. Location is great in every way. I would happily recommend.

“Very spacious house, large bedrooms and kitchen, cleaned immaculately (except for the food waste bin which was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen and no outside tap to clean it) and very comfortable.”

It was perfect for our party of 10. A few minor electronic things didn't work, eg the TV in the kitchen constantly goes on and off, bathroom mirror not connected and the dishwasher was challenging! Wonderful huge garden with mowed lawn, perfect for the children to run around. Could use a parasol as the outside tables have no shade.

“Very nice and spacious property.”

Excellent instructions. Easy check in and out. Cute little hamper also provided.

“Lovely house and garden.”

Very well equipped for amount of guests. Nice welcome hamper and brilliant to have a bag of ice in freezer as we had forgotten. All was great.

“One bedroom door did not have the centre door catch for keeping the door closed.”

Otherwise, the property had excellent kitchen and utility facilities, and comfortable large bedrooms and socialising areas.

“An excellent property, which is spacious, light, well equipped with quality items for twelve people, and clean.”

There are plenty of areas for spreading out, but also the dining room and lounge areas can accommodate everyone together. The large private garden has sun and shade, and has enough furniture for seating twelve. The chalet is an added bonus as a chill out area. Generally everything was in good order. The house is homely , but there is not the sense of impinging on the home of another family. There are security gates and adequate parking for a large group . Communication was good and clear entry instructions. The village has two pubs in which to eat, a post office shop and garage. The beach is a ten minute walk away. A wonderful house for a large group of people.
