Upon arrival, the property was found to be unclean and appeared to be in a state of disrepair. After spending time at the pool, we proceeded to clean the cupboards, cutlery, and plates. During this cleaning process, we discovered a puppy pad containing an unknown substance within one of the cupboards.The curtain pole in the kids bedroom fell down mRead moreultiple times and we could not close the bi fold door as the wood was rotten. The level of dust in the bedroom was also not what you would expect, I could write my name on the bed side table. This was only a few of the problems we encountered. The pool area was however, was clean. After taking some time to figure what to do, we felt awkward complaining to the host as the property was in her garden, so I rang Holiday Cottages for advice. Upon complaining to Holiday Cottages, we were asked by the owners to leave the night we had arrived. Holiday cottages have been great, and dealt with this professionally and we did receive a full refund albeit a stressful first day and found somewhere else on the island to stay. Hide

A warm welcome awaits you, along with a very generous welcome pack including yummy cakes and biscuits. It smelt lovely and everything was beautifully clean. The beds were very comfortable and there's plenty of warm blankets & substantial heaters if it gets cold, which it did during our stay! We couldn't fault this lovely cabin, presented with obvioRead moreus love & care. The pool was lovely as were the delightful red squirrels that entertained us daily. The only down side was the road noise. Hide
