The property is generally described as clean and comfortable, with no specific complaints about cleanliness. However, the lack of a welcome package suggests room for improvement in hospitality details.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views, direct access to the estuary, and tranquil setting. It is considered exceptional and fantastic for children and local walks.
Comfort is noted with a particularly comfortable bed in the master bedroom and a warm, cosy feeling with the heating on. However, some guests experienced issues with hot water and outdoor seating.
Facilities are great overall, but there are reports of maintenance issues like lighting, a loo seat, and heating on arrival. The quick response to repairs is a positive aspect.
While guests have mentioned the absence of a welcome package, there is not enough information to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the host. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

The layout of the property is great and kitchen has a great selection of utensils. The only thing i'd request is that the cleaner does a little bit more of a thorough job at clearning. Visible cobwebs and crumbs down the side of the sofa weren't really acceptable, but with a hoover being provided it was rectified quickly. Additionally It wasn't very easy to book this property directly with Sykes. I had an enquiry about bringing more than one dog and it took a LONG time to get through to someone, as you needed to already have a booking reference. I'd suggest a form application added to the website for people to submit questions to that aren't included in the FAQ section.

It felt warm and cosy with the heating on despite being January. The woodburner also worked well and is a lovely feature. The bed in the master bedroom was exceptionally comfortable and I slept better this week than I have for years! The owner responded promptly to any questions I texted. We loved our visit!

Unfortunately the property was freezing on arrival, it did warm up fairly quickly once we had lit the fire and turned the heating on. Had no lighting (other than standard lamps that we had to manoeuvre around the property in order that we coyld see in the evening) in the main TV sitting area and a very strange crispy (yes crispy) carpet in the bedrooms. We had to hunt out the information book (which didnt really contain any useful info ) and there was neither a welcome basket (which is generally the norm) or any Xmas decorations despite us staying on Xmas Eve Day. The walkway to the property was extremely slippy - to the point of dangerous, considering we chose this property for its one level living space as we had 2 80+ year old in our party. 2 of our party did slip and slide and we would recommend that a grip non slip surface is added as soon as possible. It is a good spacious property but a little care to the details would ensure we would make a return visit. The area itself is stunning.
