  The property and surrounding area was/is incredible.

  Our little ones loved high tide & the water coming across the road!! Such fun for them!! And crabbing in the river was a huge hit! The house itself was beautiful & incredibly presented & the welcome basket was amazing!! We did have 2 minor points, & I must stress they are minor & I do not want them to distract from our amazing week: - the table and benches outside could use some TLC - we had multiple splinters across our group & the smaller bench made some large ‘cracking’ noises when we sat on it… so didn’t use it but the other 2 benches gave us plenty of seating so was not a huge issue for us. - it is great that pub menus are left at the property, but they should be updated (or removed totally) as the prices have increased since those were included in the information pack. Not such an issue if you go to eat at the pub but we ordered a take away on the last night & it was more than we expected to pay based on menus provided at house! All of the above included - we would 100% be back to Island House!! Thank you

  What a wonderful cottage; well presented, with beams and slate flint walls.

  Bed was comfortable, kitchen well appointed and included a washing machine but no dishwasher; downstairs loo was fine, and the upstairs bathroom was well appointed with shower but no bath. Main bedroom cupboard had a rather distressing smell, with a few dead bugs. Wonderful fenced off garden, not even our ace-escape artist dogs could find a way out. Property faces onto a large meadow, ideal for the dogs; the rear of the property faces into what was once a farm yard; longish driveway and plenty of parking space. A couple of little niggles: TV is far too small, the floors were sticky (everywhere else was sparkly clean). The ten minute walk down the local pub is indeed ten minutes down a very steep hill; the one hour plus slow walk up, with multiple stops is challenging - especially when full of fish and chips :) Overall highly recommended accomodation in a beautiful part of the country!

  This isn’t criticsim, please take thiis review as a thought for the future to improve a stay at the property for your guests.

  Really felt that the lounge of the property lacked warmth, homeliness and style. The rest of the house was a mix between old and modern, perhaps one or the other would have been better, but the lounge is something of nothing. The sofas are past their best, a nice coffee table instead of a trunk repainted which is hideous, a few nice rugs on the cold looking floor, repaint the walls so they look better, at present looks scruffy as if property has been flooded and paint has come off. Some homely colour in the room would work wonders, a nice log basket for the logs instead of the plastic thing in the corner, don’t even now what to call that. The sofas smelt of dogs which isn’t pleasant, why are they allowed on the furniture anyway when humans can’t wear outdoor shoes inside the property!!!!!

  A wonderful stay and the pictures do not do the property justice.

  Very clean, comfortable and has everything you could need. The garden is secure for the dogs and the field opposite the gate, with lovely views, was very welcome for a quick morning walk with the dogs before heading out for the day. Lounge was comfortable and the recliner sofas very welcome after a long day of walking! Internet access is intermittent, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, but this was no great shame to 'switch off' off for a while and a quick stroll up the garden path ensured mobile data could connect if needed. Overall, a great place for exploring - never more than an hour away from all the places we wanted to go. Loved it so much we have already booked to go back in June!
