A really lovely holiday lodge, far nicer than the pictures suggested especially the decking area on a sunny day! A lovely welcome hamper, plenty of essential like dishwasher tablets, foil, cleaning cloths and products which you donât often get in other properties. I was very pleased with how clean the property was when we arrived. We loved the proximity to the beach and the site was lovely, we made use of the pool and play areas too which was a bonus. Great views from the balcony, would have been nice to see the view when seated outside but the hedge restricts this but Iâm assuming itâs the height it is to protect from wind etc. we were there in storm Lilian and Iâve never experienced winds like it!! Sykes should consider amending the check in time from 5pm to earlier, I know this was introduced in Covid times but itâs unnecessary now and really does mean you miss an entire day of your holiday. Weâve recommended this property to friends and family already - thanks again!

Our fourth visit to Gimblet Rock, but the first time in this amazing lodge. The Lodge is so nice, spacious, and it was very clean. I'd taken some cleaning essentials with me, however everything was provided for our stay. They had even left a welcome hamper. The beds were so comfy and towels so fluffy and soft. The pictures really don't do that incredible view justice, it was far better than we expected. Yes the view whilst sitting outside is obstructed by a hedge (not the owners fault), however this was certainly not an issue for us. The weather was not great when we were there in July, but we were still able to sit inside and see the incredible views from the sofa. Bad weather also didn't spoil our holiday as we used the pool and sauna. The only negative was the check-in time, 5pm is so late and most of your day has gone, especially by the time you've unloaded your car and unpacked. Were really hoping to stay again next year.
