The photos online show it as it was 6 years ago when new and are not a true reflection of its current state. I do not mind paying the luxury prices if that is what I receive. Unfortunately it is tired in places; * the dining chairs are very worn and require recovering or replacing * Chairs in cinema room need the leather refurbishing. * cushions for outdoor furniture no longer exist (looks stark and less comfortable to lay on) Maintenance * Kitchen bin is in a cupboard with casserole dishes which is a hygiene risk. Would be better under the sink. *. Flooring outside shower is worn away and should be replaced *. Mould on shower caulking so caulking should be replaced. Cleaning Issues *. Dog nose marks all along the interior patio doors leading to the sauna from previous tenants dogs. *. Glass balcony on upper deck covered in moss and had to be cleaned again whilst we were there, thank you Claudia *. Steps leading to upper deck are covered in thick cobwebs from previous weeks. Each holiday accommodation I have rented from Sykes previously have been absolutely spotless and tip top condition. This one does not reach your standard currently to warrant the luxurious impression given when booking. This could soon be remedied and it would be worth every penny. I have photos should you wish to see them. Kind regards Mark and Kay

Plenty of privacy afforded by thoughtful planting and landscaping. A peaceful and relaxing environment. Obviously this is not cheap accommodation and in the main, our expectations were met. A couple of points that we found were in need of attention:- Intermittent and quite alarming noise emitted from the fridge-freezer which actually woke us up on our last morning. Reported to the receptionist upon leaving so hopefully sorted before the next guests arrived. Glass balustrading to the rooftop terrace has not been cleaned for quite some time judging by the amount of green mould. Ceiling lights in the bedroom didnât operate. We made do with the lamps and reading lights. There were no pamphlets in the lodge giving details of local attractions and places of interest. No hooks or shelf in the shower cubicle for soap and shampoo etc. A few small cobwebs inside the lodge were missed by the cleaning crew. Many cobwebs found on the decked areas, which are inevitable. Overall a nice place to stay, however at this price point we felt it important to highlight these issues.
