Guests say
The Lookout is highly praised for its well-equipped facilities, stunning views, and peaceful rural setting. Guests appreciate the comfortable accommodations, cleanliness, and the added charm of local wildlife. While one review mentioned a too-soft mattress, overall, the property is celebrated as a perfect place to relax and unwind, with many guests planning to return.
Reviews consistently mention the property being spotlessly clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The property's quiet rural setting with beautiful views and proximity to local attractions is highly valued by guests, though one noted it's a bit out of the way, requiring a car.
The majority of guests find the beds super comfy and the living spaces comfortable, although one guest felt the mattress and pillows were too soft, suggesting comfort is subjective.
The Lookout is commended for being well equipped, with a strong Wi-Fi connection and exceptional bathrooms. One minor issue was the absence of a shower caddy.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.

We loved it! We loved the views, the quality and space. Kitchen is well equipped and we cooked all our meals. Advertised coffee machine was absent but we used the French Press. Bathrooms and shower are exceptional. Bedroom large and comfortable. We would be happy to return.

Very well equipped property, very good dining area and kitchen, comfortable living room. There were only two issues, one minor, one slightly more. The minor point was that there was no shower caddy, so shampoos etc. were left on the floor. The other was the bed, the mattress was far far too soft and the pillows were very soft and unsupportive, but these are personal. Beautiful views and quiet rural setting.
