“Beds very comfortable and clean.”

Kitchen area well equipped but only enough seating for five around the breakfast bar .. Although advertised for 5 adults it would have been useful to maybe have a fold away stool. Also were able to bring our 2 dogs obviously there will be dog hair ,we cleaned as best we could with the dust pan and brush, could have done with a mop and small vacuum cleaner. The bathroom was great,the shower very powerful and hot water plentiful. The sitting area was un comfortable,I think because of the sloping roof and back of sitting area was low.Theres a lose paving stone outside the bedroom with the door, the hot tub was great a good size and hot water,a nice position. The whole area could do with larger signs as would like to know where and where you can walk,also signs for the accommodation not easy to read from the road

“The concept is amazing, and the views incredible.”

However, so many things let the place down and therefore would not return. I am sorry I hadn't read previous reviews that all say the same. Unfortunately Sykes make it very difficult to view more than one review on the place. The windows and door frames were caked in black mould and were soaking wet, the cupboard housing all electrics had water gushing out of it and did not look safe. Nowhere to store clothes, food or wet clothes/towels after the hot tub. We were given two manky old towels for 5 people, I called the owner to ask for more and no response, rang again and left voicemail but noone called back. The system of entry whereby you turn up and ring them for the key code seems ludicrous when they don't answer the phone for 30 minutes or ring you back. The front door didn't close properly and assume why the whole frame is covered in mould, the doormat soaking wet, flooring was all lifted up, creaky and all slanted. The house was not flat but all leaning. The pipework underneath meant that when you had the heating on, it was scolding hot in certain places and could not walk bear feet. Our hot tub and WIFI stopped working, I assume they turned everything off thinking people had gone home (at one point we were the only ones there). Like I say, the concept is great, but sadly owners don't seem to give two hoots once they have your money about answering phonecalls and rectifying issues.

“It has a great location and view, and this hobbit hole design is amazing!”

Also, the heating system is reliable with floor heating. The kitchen is well-equipped. The seating area is not comfortable at all. There are no wardrobes to hang the clothes. No hairdryer. And it is hard to clean the floor as they do not provide any hoover, mop, etc. The towels were not enough and they are pretty old. I wish there were a washing machine and dishwasher too.
