The area is outstanding, the views brilliant and we plan to go back to the area soon. Vista cottage was a disappointment. I know items included in self-catering are differnt from place to place, but we have used sykes for the last 4-5 years booking aprox 6-7 places per year. The place had a musty smell which we could not get rid of. The access road in is in bad condition, and itâs a good length but is a proper bottom gear job. Very limited kitchen items and sofa wants burning, 2-3 foot high weeds in the outside area, access door to cottage latch broken, one roll of toilet paper for 5 days, beds ok but just that. Worst thing was 3-4 dogs barking (owners not other residents) all the time with short intervals of silence, this went on for 3 of the 4 nights until 2am, it was better with window closed but still difficult to get to sleep. Showers ect were not bad, had worse. Had a mouse in kitchen, not that bothered about that but some would be.

The kitchen facilities are more than adequate to cook for a family all week, maybe another flat baking tray and some scissors would be great but theyâre such minor things that we managed without. Our only disappointment was the hot tub, the photo showed a large square one but it was a small circular one, more for just sitting in rather than relaxing in. The hot tub however stayed clean all week and kept its temperature. My children loved the newborn piglets and having the freedom to wander around the land. Weâd certainly return here if it was listed for next year.

The whole site could do with a bit more TLC however, especially the road in and out of the holiday cottages - a very long, rough track with so many pot holes! A major downside to our stay was the consistent barking through the night by dogs. It was also very hard to get in touch with the owners - I called their mobile on 4 separate occasions and not once managed to speak to anyone. It would be good if there were instructions provided on how to use the hot-tub and appliances in the cottage, and maybe some information on the area and things to do/see. A lovely location but not sure we'd go back.
