This is our second time at Windowky, the fact it has taken 3 years to visit again because it is always booked up says alot. It is a favourite to everyone who stays. The house is beautiful and cosy, clean and everything you need is there. Including DVDs, Games, Binoculars etc. The Garden and views are stunning, to sit out and watch the wildlife and sunsets is stunning. The welcome pack is great and thoughtful. This visit the main road was closed due to maintenance and Owner Bob contacted me direct throughout the stay to keep us updated on progress. We had a massive issue day of travel with our car and had to wait till late for a hire car and travel a day later but again Bob was easy to contact and very understanding. We would love to stay again and will keep an eye out for available weeks. Thanks to Bob.
