We were dismayed that you felt it correct and beneficial to anyone to write this review We were called by you at 10pm on your arrival and were very upset to hear that our housekeeper had failed to do the clean and full change over. We came immediately to the house and offered to do a complete change and compensation for your inconvenience. You declined left and demanded a full refund for the week which we subsequently action with Vrbo
Our housekeeper we discovered had had a critical family situation and had failed to let us know in the panic
We will also point out that the family who had stayed for two weeks and just departed gave a 5 star review
Property owners have been extremely helpful and very easy to contact, the property is located in the best possible location to enjoy Sidmout, ample space to relax and enjoy all that sidmouth has to offer, will 100% book again.
Lovely little house, perfect for our dogs, as we are local and were staying for three weeks whilst renovating our new home, we had everything we needed there.

Thank you for choosing ByThe Byes. We hope all is well and you are you are enjoying your new home
The house is in a perfect spot for walking into Sidmouth or through the beautiful Byes. Well equipped with very comfy bed although sofas could do with an upgrade. Only downside is parking can be tricky but we would stay here again when coming to Sidmouth.

Thank you very much. We would be delighted to welcome you back anytime in the future.
Charming house in an ideal location just across from the Byes and a short walk into Sidmouth.
Parking can be a little tricky, but the owners had provided a folder containing lots of useful information, including alternative parking.

Thank you so much for your review. So pleased you enjoyed By the Byes and Sidmouth. We would like very much to welcome you back sometime in the future if you are Sidmouth way again
Excellent location close to the Byes which are lovely. The house is nice and well equipped and good value. As others have described parking is a nightmare, total luck if you get a spot and if you don't, then expect at least 5 minutes walk from the next nearest option. Nothing the owners can do about this but be aware. What is less clear from the description is that the garden is not directly accessed from the back door. There is a shared pathway directly outside the back door and the garden is a few yards to the right, so if you have a dog you cannot just let it out.
We enjoyed are stay at the property. Being next to the Byes was a bonus and great for walking the dog.The only criticism was the parking situation. Ideally if every property had its own parking bay then this would overcome this problem.Overall we had a lovely time and would recommend Sidmouth to anyone who asked.

Thank you very much we are so glad to enjoyed your holiday
The parking. This has been reviewed, actively petitioned by the residents on numerous occasions over the years. The council’s response has always been to refuse residents parking. However be assured this matter will be raised again at some point by the residents
We would like to welcome you back should you wish to return to Sidmouth in the future. As you mentioned the location is ideal next to the Byes and a short walk to shops and beaches.

Good location for the byes
Good location for walking on the Byes, 10 minutes from the seafront.It is a Victorian house and the stairs are tricky on the 1st floor landing next to the bathroom. 4 minutes from an amazing pub called The Volunteer Inn, which has amazing food and is well worth a visit.

We were very dismayed and surprised that you only gave a three star review This was more unbelievably puzzling since the only comment was about the stairs which are typical of Victorian house and mentioned on the website
The property was excellent and in a nice quiet part of Sidmouth. It was a bit of a lottery with regards to parking, but I think that was because several properties had contractors in working.

Thank you very much for your review and taking great care of the house. We are glad you enjoyed the house and its location. You are correct several properties are undergoing major internal re designing.
We hope to welcome you back sometime in the future.
Perfect location for walking into Sidmouth and surrounding countryside via the beautiful Byes.
House was spotless and had everything we needed and more.
Our daughter loved what she described as "her cave"which was actually the loft room.
Will definitely return soon,thank you for letting us stay

Thank you very much. We are very pleased you enjoyed your holiday and we would be delighted to see you again in the future. You were our first guests this year due to Covid-19!
We had a most enjoyable two weeks in this comfortable property. It is conveniently situated overlooking the trees and grassy area known as the Byes which provides an easy walk to the seafront and the shops. The house is well equipped and the information given in the folder is comprehensive and helpful. We thoroughly recommend a holiday here.

It’s in a good location in that you can walk into Sidmouth, and there are lovely walks in the Byes the park.The host responded quickly when we had an issue with a door. The big challenge is the parking as without my husbands blue badge we would have struggled to park anywhere near, I would worry that in the season this would be even harder. The house is well equipped, and the bed is comfy, I agree with previous comments that the sofa is not comfy, and some areas need an update. I think also that it should explain that there are steps at the front door, and the stairs and the bathroom access are tricky, we just about managed them as 70 yr olds, but I think they would also be tricky for a toddler. Sidmouth is a lovely place to visit .
Property is in a good location but parking could be difficult. House not ideal for elderly people as stairs very steep and no downstairs toilet. Location very quiet. Would be okay for a young family.
Will not stay there again.

We find your review quite harsh based on steep stairs which are typical of houses of the Victorian period A downstairs toilet was not listed in the property information
