  We arrived late at night and where informed there would be firewood supplied, there was none.

  We began to make a hot drink and found two cups with dried coffee in the bottom. We decided to wash the cutlery and crockery ready for morning and found the previous guest pots still in the dishwasher, unwashed. There were no dishwasher tabs. We were informed there was internet and traveling with two young teenagers, found no internet and no information regarding why or what issues had occurred to cause internet failure. The oven was unusable until it was fully cleaned and the trays left in there scrubbed. The following morning my wife spoke with the host. Michelle, explaining everything we touched in the kitchen was grimy, greasy and needed to be washed, as we checked the rest of the property we simply found more dirt. Even the trash bin had a bag of the previous guests trash at the bottom with a bin bag placed on top of this. Michelle’s response was “, I’ve got three children and it’s Christmas, my standards have dropped and I meant to contact you yesterday, but it’s being nuts.” she went on to say a satellite dish had come off the mountain and we should put the router in a carrier bag and hang it from the window on the outside. We found this did not work in the apple 16pro max or the Samsung galaxy phones but did work on the other tech, but did not work on anything once downstairs. The only reception received was upstairs. We asked the Sykes representative if we had to bring our own fire wood and was informed it is provided by the host, we were informed , a welcome pack is left by the host, there was nothing of a welcome not even a note apologizing that we had no internet or wood for a fire. The message left with Sykes regarding the internet was responded to within thirty mins by James and the host visited with a multi point charger so we could keep the router plugged in while hanging it out of the window. Why we were not informed the previous week to our visit tgat there were internet issues and we would not receive the same internet reception we may have reconsidered booking this property.

  The house is in a fantastic location and is very spacious with loads of light, which is lovely.

  The only thing that lets it down, as some other visitors have also commented on, is the quality of the decor. There are paint splashes on the floors/carpets in pretty much every room, the curtains are very thin and don’t fit the windows properly in some rooms, there are gaps in carpet that have been patched with completely different pieces of carpet or mats in the master bedroom, holes in the wall panels in the bathroom and badly hung cabinet doors in the kitchen which prevents some doors from fully closing. There was also a really fusty smell in the living room - I think it came from the blankets and cushions. These are all fairly minor things, but combined, they let the property down as they make it feel a bit cheaply done. When you pay almost £1000 for one week, this is disappointing. Also, there were absolutely no toiletries provided - no hand soap in the bathroom, no washing up liquid in for kitchen and no laundry detergent in the utility room - and no hand towel in the bathroom either. Again minor inconveniences but providing these for visitors would make a huge difference to first impressions and comfort of the stay. Having said all this, the property and garden are large, the facilities were all in good working order, the Wi-Fi was fast and the living area is very comfortable, so the major points are all fine. If the feedback from ourselves and other visitors was taken on board and addressed by the owners and cleaners, then this would make a huge difference and go some way to justifying the price that is being charged.

  Very spacious, well equipped but corners cut which was a shame.

  There is a splendid cooker, the pans were not usable. Where the non-stick coating had been scraped off they had all rusted. So The only way to cook was with frying pans, baking sheets, or to use the microwave oven. New pans don't cost much! Spotless kitchen. The only bed we used was in need of renewal because it was so old. We loved the privacy and the location, the directions were essential and no parking problems because of an ample private drive. An attempt had been made to put down artificial grass but it was a disaster. I'm sure weed -resistant membrane and wood chippings would look better. On the plus, it was really warm and well-ventilated. The amount of light was wonderful - big windows in every room. The welcome pack was also very kind. Nice front garden (there was a pretty border and mixed shrubs) but a bodged, unfinished structure (seating area?) and collection of overflowing bins didn't give the best first impressions. On the morning of our stay we received a call to say a wardrobe door had come off and it was at the top of the list to be replaced, this reflected how there was care about the interior and the comfort it offered visitors. Strange details let it down (the missing carpet at the side of the bed, two carpet squares being laid down to fill the gap). We had a good stay, we really did but were niggled by the details mentioned.

  Having read some of the reviews I was not sure whether or not to book this property but as it was a late booking took a chance and booked dates which were available in September.

  The bungalow is very spacious and I really couldn't see why so many negative reviews has been received. There is parking for more than one car, the garden is secure (a must for my dog) and the bungalow is well equipped and had everything we needed. Yes there are a few paint spots on the floor but that did not detract from our holiday. The beach is about half a mile away and dogs are allowed on some parts of it, the parking is free and it was mostly deserted. There is a coffee shop and swings next to the beach. The beds were clean and comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious. The kitchen and bathroom are relatively new and both served their function. There was plenty of hot water and we had no problems with the shower. There are two shops very close to the property so no need to drive to a supermarket. There is also a chip shop and Chinese takeaway just down the road. My only criticism would be that there were no pillow protectors on the beds and there seemed to be a problem with which bin to put out meaning they hadn't been emptied. There are plenty of places to visit nearby so we didn't have to travel far. Compared with other holiday properties it was also very good value as it is a lot cheaper. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay there again

  Enjoyed a great week at this well-appointed property with modern styling that nods to the past.

  The reverse layout makes the most of the fabulous view from large raked window in the living area and there's plenty of room to chill out. Great location with easy access to the coast, and the walking trails that crisscross the Sychnant Pass are on the doorstep. A tip for other guests - the central heating is quite effective but remember, the heat rises and the reverse layout means it can get quite warm upstairs in the living area - adjust the radiator thermostats accordingly. Another tip is, if the oven (it's a lovely range) has been powered off, you'll not be able to do much until you've set the clock! This took me a while to figure out and it was only some time later that I found a manual for the range in a kitchen drawer (page 9 revealed the answer). I'd suggest this information is included in the welcome file along with a more detailed description of how to actually turn the central heating on, rather than the brief mention in the file that it's either on, manual or auto. We had the restful week in the peace and quiet of the country that we were looking for and we'd definitely return.
