Mostly ok.

Overall satisfied but wouldn’t stay again or recommend. Location lovely. Factory a bit noisy one or two nights. We would have liked a few more things including appliances - iron, hairdryer, microwave, ironing board, garden furniture. These are routinely available at other properties. Kitchen layout cramped. A few dirty pots on shelves. Bedrooms nice. Beds comfy. Did not like retro feel to shower room - it had become too shabby eg wood on door and corroded taps. Lots of useful books and maps. Outside lacking TLC. Flies horrendous! Overall, had all the hallmarks of a property that isn’t regularly inspected by owner or Sykes? I feel like the competition will soon leave this property behind. It isn’t keeping up. All that said, we did have a lovely week!

Accommodation worked really well for 4 friends on holiday together - spacious communal kitchen with large dining table and adjacent lounge area, and 4 roomy bedrooms.

Nice gardens for anyone who enjoys better weather than we did! A comfy bolt hole in the most beautiful part of a stunning island.
