You have really thought of all the convenient facilities. Your care has not gone unnoticed. We were warm and felt safe to lay our heads. Loved the hamper, loved the torches, loved the fact there was enough toilet/kitchen roll and cleaning supplies. Loved the heating and the hot water. I know these are standard things but youâll be surprised how many places I have rented to find broken showers and heating not working. Having two bathrooms worked so well and an extra toilet downstairs. All guests were very complimentary of your home. You should be very proud. We would definitely be happy to stay again in the future and I will be recommending you to friends. The only small thing I noticed was the bed sheet in the master room smelt damp. It was that smell of when your clothes donât dry well after a wash. The quilt and pillows smelt fine. Thank you for a lovely stay!!

The Sky TV package was a really nice touch too. 5 minute walk over the road to the town with a few decent pubs. The Swan does nice food and the Harnser is even better and all within walking distance. Boat hire is on the doorstep also. There is some road noise as it backs onto the main road but we didnât find that an issue as not too many noisy cars in that part of the world. The microwave packed in while we were there and although we reported it on the Sykes app we did not get a response. That may have been the Sykes app being slow rather than the owner however not replying. There were a few light bulbs either out or very dim which needed replacement also reported on app. Only other suggestions are why a poor 2 slice toaster in a house that sleeps 6 and the kitchen has nowhere to store food as a some of the cupboards are full of old cutlery and bowls etc and none of the stuff you would use on holiday. Just declutter and problem solved. Overall really good stay and would recommend.
