  • "The property met all our needs and more."

    The owners were kind and very friendly. We felt that some of the photos didn’t quite do the bungalow justice. It really is beautiful and spotlessly clean, with every convenience on site or close at hand. Even though we visited in November, it was clear to see that at the right time of year, the Patio with furniture, would be a great place to sit and enjoy the wonderful views out over sea. We hope to return to “The Milking Parlour” very soon. Dave

    The property was emaculate warm and comfortable with everything you need when you arrive especially when you need that cuppa after a long drive, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place and we would definitely be wanting to return. The supermarket's are a short drive away plus an indoor market which is huge with an eatery inside definitely worth going to the Eden project is just a short drive away.The owner's live next door but let you get on and are extremely accommodating and lovely people

  • "We really enjoyed our stay."

    The house was very clean and comfortable with excellent kitchen equipment and great knives .. too often we have had to hunt for a decent knife in holiday homes ! Good WiFi as well. The SuperKing zip and link bed was a plus as often in smaller properties there is not a bed that caters for taller folk ! Lovely rural outlook with sheep in the field, from the lounge and modern outside terrace. The owners were very helpful and friendly and suggested a good local fishmonger and butchers. Local pub 2 minutes away and other decent eateries and pubs nearby. Beaches within 15 mins drive. Altogether a perfect location and house for us and we would definitely visit again ! Heather and Ian

    Hi Heather and Ian. Thank you for your comments. We have tried hard to make sure all the equipment and furnishings are good quality, so are pleased to hear the feedback on the beds, kitchen equipment and knives. We are glad we could help with some reccomenations to help you enjoy your stay. Best Wishes Property Owner

    Owners were very accommodating and left us a box of chocolates for the inconvenience The photo,s on Skye’s web site do not do the property justice it is much better than it looks!

    Thank you for your comments. We are pleased it looked even better than online- we will have to update our photos! Thank you again for your understanding with the washing machine. Best Wishes :) Property Owner
