What our customers say about their holidays

  • Leslie - Verified booking

    Lantern View (Ref.

    1122121) “It’s a pretty picture; but it’s for looking at not living in! This is the first time I’ve been disappointed with our choice of get-away accommodation”. This statement was uttered within 10 minutes of our entering the property. And all whilst standing in an attractive property that has obviously been subject to fairly lavish care and attention. So why? We are two couples, active but past the first flush of youth, who meet for a few days each year in some corner of this Sceptred Isle. One of us, whilst otherwise very mobile, has difficulty climbing stairs and getting into a bath without help. So, the critical advertised facility that lead to our choosing Lantern View was - “Ground-floor Bathroom with bath, walk-in shower and WC” – there is no walk-in shower. The listing also advertised ”1x ground-floor twin with TV” – there is no TV; we don’t want TV in the bedroom but the facilities should reflect the listed facilities. One other item expected, but neither listed nor present in either bathroom, is an electric shaver socket. The first-floor bedroom is listed as having an en-suite with walk-in shower, basin and WC; but the “room” is around 5-feet square, the shower base is smaller than the smallest available from B&Q and the maximum door opening is 14”; wide enough to allow an adult to sidle in, but not enough to allow them to reach down to wash the nether regions. Back to the facilities listing; “Open-plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area with woodburning stove” – this is a very nice feature of the property and, works very well. However, there is a step up to the sitting area that is not as obvious as it could be; one of our group tripped over it twice in the first hour of our being there. Fortunately, no damage to person or property but one day? We suggest a length of eye-catching adhesive tape be applied to minimise the risk. Finally, a few words regarding the ground-floor bedrooms neither of which has easy access around the beds nor adequate stowage space for suitcases or for clothes hanging. The twin-room has been fitted with a 9-inch deep shelving unit behind the bed-heads; this has reduced a comfortable walking space between the foot of the beds and the wall of about 21-inches to about 1-foot. This means we have to shuffle sideways to get past the beds to reach the window or boiler room, and this isn’t good for aging knee joints. The shelves serve no useful purpose and obscure access to the wall-sockets mounted in the wall behind them. The double room is more difficult, but it could make a very comfortable room for a single bed or even good quality bunk-beds. IT’S A PITY. Given the richness of the Northumbrian culture and heritage, this could have been our best get-away yet, but the accessibility issues detracted from full enjoyment of the experience. We will return to this area but, sadly, not to Lantern View. Regards, Leslie Cumming.

    The initial property we booked was cancelled with just a few weeks notice, and there was little left within our price range for the area we had booked to stay which left us with limited options.

    This property is a nice location, only a ten minute walk from St Ives town centre and a five minute walk to a local Co-Op store. The house is well equipped in some areas. The kitchen has good appliances and plenty of cutlery and crockery, as well as a Nespresso coffee machine with some pods. There is also a washing machine and dishwasher. There are some towels for use, though I recommend taking your own as they are only smaller hand towels and wash cloths. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage space. There is a small outdoor area which is useful for pets, and would be nice in the summer months. The furniture is comfortable, and the property is well decorated throughout. There are some areas of the property which I feel should be better advertised or require improvement. Though parking is advertised, it is a very narrow side street and parking as close as possible to the property on the pavement. We had a larger car and had a ticket left on it by the refuse men that despite our best efforts, they couldn't get past. Other cars also use this road and it is very tight so a high risk of damage to your car. There is a car park a few minutes walk away but costs £16 for 24 hours. Despite the cost we opted to park here rather than outside the property. There is a television in the living room but has no aerial signal, and limited online apps available via a Now box which all require extra cost and are seemingly logged into the owners accounts which feels invasive when trying to use online apps. Some areas of the property have lovely touches, such as the pictures and prints around the house. But there are some areas which are clearly not well looked after. The tap on the kitchen falls off, the dishwasher rocks around as it is too small for the space it is plumbed in, and there are drafts from the windows which are older designs. The bin outside is also screwed shut so you cannot throw rubbish away properly, and due to the wind we didn't want to just leave it there incase of it blowing away, which meant we had to store bags of rubbish in the kitchen until we checked out. There is an upstairs bathroom with a very small shower cubicle, but there is a downstairs bathroom with a bath and larger shower area. Also quite bizarrely on the morning of our checkout as we were cleaning the property, we heard drilling sounds from the side of the house. Someone had appeared and then disappeared without calling in. It was only evident as we were about to check out that they had removed the lock box on where to place the keys without telling us, so without any information, we locked up and posted the keys back through the letterbox. Overall the property is a lovely location, and has some nice personal touches, and is well equipped. But there are some areas which require improvement, and the ability to park should be clearly marked that larger cars would not be able to safely use this facility.

    The house had a closed-up, unwelcoming feel when we arrived.

    It obviously hadn’t been cleaned or aired that day. I don’t know how long it had been left for, but it must have been a while as it needed a thorough vacuuming before we could settle in. There seemed to be an infestation of spiders. An enormous one had made a nest in one of the basins – it must have been there for some time. There were lots of leaves in the hall that had obviously blown in through the front door at some point. I would say the whole house needs a deep clean. There are lots of shelves and ledges and little nooks with ornaments, and it’s all very dusty. The windows need cleaning, especially looking out into the garden. The lawn hadn’t been cut in quite a while, so the garden didn’t feel very welcoming either. The garden furniture could also have done with a clean, and some cushions and a parasol for the table would be nice. The bedding was clean and there were plenty of towels, but they were nearly all mis-matched and not the best quality. One had bleach marks all over it. The pillows were all very thin and poor. All of the mattresses, except one, were dreadful – you could feel every spring. There is only one usable shower – the blue bathroom only has a shower attachment on the bath taps, though there is nothing wrong with the water pressure. The twin room has a shower, but the water only comes out as a trickle and the shower head is fixed right at one side, so it’s impossible to actually wash in it. The basin in that room is all mouldy round the taps, and one of the taps is extremely loose. There is good water pressure in the main bedroom’s ensuite – and this room has the only comfortable mattress – but there is an appalling smell from the drains, which does permeate the entire house when you have to close the windows to go out for the day. Positives: good, quiet position. Very easy walk into Bamburgh. Wi-Fi worked perfectly the whole time we were there.

    This was our second stay at this lovely and luxuriously appointed apartment and we were pleased to see that our review from our previous visit (May 2023) had been acted on - kettle and pillow issues now resolved.

    There remain however several irritations in this luxury and not inexpensive apartment. There were 5 guests staying in an apartment accommodating 6 people. Only 4 towels, 4 bowls and no bedding provided for the sofa bed (this happened last time so we were prepared with our own bedding). Not equipping the apartment with basic crockery, utensils and linen for the maximum number of guests it accommodates is however inexcusable. We have been in the holiday letting business ourselves for over 20 years and always over supply on cutlery, crockery and glasses to accommodate the inevitable breakages. We also missed the following kitchen basics - bread board, bread knife, grater & chopping board. The Internet was non existent - we couldn't get the TV or anything to work without hot spotting to our phones. I see this has been raised in other reviews but remains an issue and difficulty for anyone needing to work whilst away. We also had the same experience as other guests in relation to parking. On arrival we parked our two cars in tandem in space 6 to unload. We did not use the other apartment vacant spaces, we were not blocking anything but within half an hour we had a nasty and passive aggressive sticker on our windscreen. Not the owners fault but I think the listing could be more explicit about the parking challenges on site, near the apartment and in the town generally. Had we not tandem parked temporarily unloading with a child and elderly parent would have been impossible. A suggestion perhaps would be to provide a disc for town parking for the use of guests - we have had this in the past in other properties we have rented and it certainly alleviated the parking stress on arrival.

    Although the location of this property is fantastic, we do not recommend it as somewhere to stay on holiday.

    Poorly equipped with miss-matched cutlery, few plates, bowls, mugs etc. just enough for the amount of people which isn’t great! Most importantly no blind or curtain on widow in the double bedroom upstairs- the neighbours over the road could literally watch us sleeping (it is a velux window that is below the height of the over road neighbours bedroom so they can literally look down into the room)!!!! Not to mention having nothing to block the light when we were trying to sleep! The upstairs shower is duct taped to the floor so very wobbly and the downstairs shower leaks into the hallway to a huge extent and as it is tiled flooring makes a huge safety issue- our children slipped a couple of times despite us mopping after every shower. The double bed upstairs is also very uncomfortable and lumpy! The owners clearly do not care about the property or about the comfort of the people staying there, it’s a shame as the layout is great and lovely location. Also the property was not in a clean state when we arrived. There was so so much dog hair from previous stays- there were literally hair balls in the corners of the living room and we had to retrieve a toy from under the sofa- I wish we left it there as it was covered in dust and hair! There was cutlery in the draw that still had oil and what we think was honey on so we then had to wash everything to make sure it was clean enough to use. Sorry, we cannot recommend this property and hope Sykes contact the owner regarding the lack of privacy/ blinds in the double room upstairs as well as the safety issues regarding both showers.
