Great house for a family

Lovely house for a family and the annexe means that there is somewhere for a couple or grandparents to have some time away from the rest of the party. Good location for access to all areas of the Island and only a few miles to good beaches and places to eat. Again same comments as previously, lacking a few basics such as still no lampshade in the annexe bedroom and very little cutlery in the annexe. Rooms are spacious and ple with of parking.

On arrival house hadn’t been cleaned. Despite property management saying it had , it hadn’t Cob webs everywhere dirty oven and pans .Poor kitchen utensils not fit for purpose .. Shower has seen better days and certainly not been cleaned . Photos to prove. Freezer needed defrosting/ replacing as it’s so old . Annex hadn’t been cleaned either. You don’t expect to enter a holiday home at Christmas to start cleaning and purchasing kitchen essentials! Linen was clean and beds were comfortable . Although you would expect a hand towel to be provided for downstairs toilet and soap , so we purchased those as well. This isn’t a budget holiday home and would have expected higher standards.

Comfortable cottage

Hill cottage was clean and tidy and well maintained. The garden would have benefited from some maintenance. The house was in a good position for visiting lots of different destinations on the island. Although the immediate location of the house was not ideal, positioned on a corner plot between two roads you did experience a lot of road noise.

Summer Break with the family

The cottage was lovely in a great location and very spacious. The only thing it lacked was attention to detail. We didn’t realise tea towels weren’t provided and didn’t consider this before we arrived as towels were provided. The kitchen utensils could do with being replaced, knives were very blunt it was a struggle to chop vegetables etc. Cleanliness was ok but the conservatory was infested with ants and hadn’t been cleaned at all, window sills very dirty. The weather wasn’t great when we were there so spent time in the conservatory which wasn’t very pleasurable.
