“We had an amazing weekend, the house is beautiful and decorated to a high standard.”

The only issue was the difficulty in warming up the hot tub and we were unable to use it despite our efforts on two nights. Stunning location but difficult to access with a wheelchair when the tide was high .

“House was just right for our needs .”

Would recommend owners deal with another let company …….one that operates on a more personal level and doesn’t send emails during the stay which if they answered their phone more could have been dealt with before arrival .

“We absolutely loved staying at this property and everything was perfect.”

There were two things we would like to feedback though: The absence of any kind of folder with key information in about the property and its amenities presents some challenges. For example knowing how to turn the heating off and how to operate the hot tub. It would be in the owners interests from a sustainability perspective to provide this info. Secondly we were very surprised to find the late one night the footpath which is supposedly accessible at all time was submerged with the tide. Perhaps due to a full moon it was an exceptionally high tide. Nonetheless it is advertised as accessible at all times via footpath. We had 2 friends who had come for dinner and were unable to get off the island that night and had to stay to 5am. I appreciate that your listing wouldn’t want to give the impression it’s not accessible but again if there were a folder of key information it could be noted that occasional exceptional high tides may mean the footpath is inaccessible

“We enjoyed our stay here, the house was beautiful with stunning views, and was well equipped.”

The beds were comfy, lovely furniture, and the house was cozy and warm. The house itself was very clean, however the hot tub unfortunately was not. We had no pre warning that the tub was drained and the expectation was to fill it. This wasn’t really as issue as it filled quickly, but we did have to clean it before use as it hadn’t been done, something I don’t expect to have to do given the cost of the holiday home. I also had issues locating the hot tub starter pack. We waited for assistance from the house keeper for a few hours, and when I called to chase up, was directed to wood which had been left in the rain and was no use. I purchased logs, kindling and fire lighters myself. After our holiday I was told if I had receipts then I would be reimbursed. Had I known this before and not after the holiday, I would have kept them. The property itself was immaculate, and I could not fault the cleaning inside. I understand how difficult it must be to clean such a large home in a short space of time, and credit where it’s due, it was spotless inside. Reading a previous review, I agree the house would benefit from a manual , we muddled through just fine but normally expect a go to guide on how to use the appliances, hot tub, Wi-Fi etc. I did query this and was sent a link on the use of the wood fired hot tub which was great, but again, it would save visitors time if this info were readily available. We enjoyed our stay, and had it not been for the handling of the some of the above raised, would probably have booked again for our annual Christmas holiday as it was a lovely house. As a regular customer with Sykes, I’m disappointed.
