  Lovely Converted Barn The property is in a very rural and quiet setting.

  The furnishings and finish are to a high standard. The lounge and kitchen are very thoughtfully laid out, and the settee being the best we have encountered in a rental property. It is worth mentioning that the electrically adjustable end's of the settee were a great addition. All of the usual everyday requirements are provided in the kitchen area, and we cooked several meals without any issues. The heating is underfloor and cannot be adjusted at a timed 20 degrees. There is a small oil filled electric heater with can be used for top up, as there is no fireplace. The bedrooms are tastefully finished, but small apart from the twin room. We were unsure if the comfortable double beds were small doubles! The twin room would benefit from wall light switch's so you do not have to get out of bed to turn the lights off. The En-suite is a toilet and sink only, with one bath-shower room for the whole property. In addition to the property, there is an orchard and barbecue for the use of guests. We were unable to use this facility due to the weather, but it would be lovely in the summer. There were a few niggles. No welcome pack was provided, no hooks to bedroom or bathroom doors to hang bathrobes and towels etc. The rear bedroom widows look out to a farm yard with farm machinery. On arrival generally, you are only allowed to use the property driveway to unload and load, parking is in a parking area at the end of the drive. If you wish to use the electric charger for the car, please note that this is at an additional cost. However, these issues would not prevent us from rebooking the property again. For eating out we would recommend The Boathouse in Red Wharf Bay, and Ann's Pantry in Moelfe and Beaumaris for fish and chips. Overall, we would recommend the property.

  Excellent location and tastefully presented lodge, close to the adjoining Warren site where all the amenities are.

  Well equipped kitchen. Outside deck a lovely space. Didn’t use the barbecue but one was provided. Hot tub was also very good. Negatives: TV was a big issue for us as there was no terrestrial TV in the lounge and that was when we could connect with the site Wi-Fi, which was off more than it was on. We spent far too much time trying to sort this and on calls to Sykes who didn’t have the answers to resolve the issues, although they were helpful and kept us informed, to no avail though. Radio provided but that depended on Wi-Fi too it seemed as that kept cutting out. No instructions for any equipment, particularly the TV/Wi-Fi, hot tub, washer/dryer. This would have helped greatly. We noticed the shed behind the lodge was unlocked and we were unable to lock it and worried about the safety of the contents. No one at the site office to ask during our stay. Cleanliness was poor in the lounge and bedrooms, specifically the sofas which we found to have crushed biscuits under the cushions. None of the furniture had been moved to clean behind or under, In the bedrooms there were biscuits behind the bedside cabinets and thick dust on furniture and skirtings. Post covid particularly I expected a clean lodge would be essential. Bathrooms, towels, bed linen all very clean. En-suite toilet was cracked with a loose lid. The style and location of this lodge are its selling points and I would recommend it. We would book again provided the negatives noted were rectified.

  Although the location of the lodge is lovely, the lodge itself is in need of attention to bring it up to a standard expected when paying this amount of money for a lodge.

  The toilet seat was broken on one of the toilets making it unusable, the other toilet was cracked. The shower over the bath leaked out on to the floor making that unusable. The bin in the kitchen was broken, there was hair and sand on the rug / carpet and sofas and the general cleanliness of the lodge was poor. There is no digital or analogue television and so the TV can only be used on the Samsung app, (impossible for older people meaning that they couldn't watch any television for the week). There is no information on how to use the heating or any appliances and there is no WIFI access available from the holiday park. Outside there was rubbish scattered around the decking area including multiple security seals from the hot tub cover and the hot tub itself was not full so had to be filled and then waited for until the next day to warm up. Not the holiday break away we'd hoped for unfortunately.

  Great stay in this property.

  Well placed for everything the area has to offer. About 10 mins to Dartmouth in the car. Supermarket in same direction. Very comfortable for 3 adults - would struggle to sit anything more than 4 people to watch tv comfortably relaxed. Plenty of utensils and plates etc. Being in the shoulder season it was too warm for the underfloor heating to come on but with the rain it felt a bit chilly some evenings but not cold enough to light the log burner. Main bedroom and bathroom very nice. Family bathroom ready for some tlc but more than adequate. Beds very comfy with lovely linens etc. Nice and dark and quiet so good sleep all round. Great week and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if coming back to the area. Big warning- follow instructions to property as given - DO NOT rely on Sat nav - narrow lane is a nightmare. Navigate via the top end of Dartmouth if coming from the M5/A38.

  A beautifully presented property, situated in a quiet road in Stoke Fleming.

  Adequate parking for two cars. The property was very well equipped and felt very spacious. It had clearly only recently been renovated and everything looked very new. Good sized kitchen and sitting room, as well as a large master bedroom with ensuite, and one double and one twin room - both of which provided ample space. The property also has a fair sized back garden, laid mainly to grass. Stoke Fleming was a great place to stay as it is a lovely, quiet village, some 3 miles from Dartmouth, without the bustle and fight for car parking spots. We have been slowly working our way along the South West coastal path and staying in a number of properties along the way, and this was one of the nicest we have come across. The only thing it lacked was sea views! I would strongly recommend staying at this property.
