  • "When we arrived there was water pouring through the bathroom ceiling, it was pouring our of the recessed light socket."

    there was so much water on the floor it was all in the one bedroom. I called the housekeeper straight away on the second attempt the call was answered. The housekeeper said she found water coming through the ceiling that morning and called a plumber. by the time the plumber arrived the water had stopped and they couldn't find where the water was coming from. So she said she would call the plumber again. The plumber arrived and located what he thought might be the problem. It was fixed, I called the house keeper again to say the plumber had arrived but there was so much water everywhere we needed more towels. The house keeper said we would find some extra towels in the store under the bed. I cannot believe that the housekeeper who knew there had been a problem that day and the water had been pouring from morning until 4.30pm when we entered the property did not even attend the property or call to make sure everything was ok. we were left to clean and sort it out ourselves. I have never known such poor after care. I have taken photos of where the water was pouring through the ceiling. Through a ceiling and through an electrical light switch. Terrible aftercare by the company.

    We are sorry that your arrival at Island View wasn’t the experience it should have been because of the leak in the bathroom. I’m glad it was quickly fixed but apologise for the inconvenience caused and that the housekeeper’s follow-up did not meet expectations. We have followed this up to improve if anything similar were to happen again. We hope you had a lovely holiday after this initial issue. Property Owner

  • "We had very few complaints, just a couple of minor ones - the frying pan had lost most of its non-stick coating and had seen better days and all the knives were blunt, with no sharpener available."

    Apart from that, Island View is a lovely comfortable cottage with amazing views and it was a delight to stay there.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. We are so glad you had a lovely stay at Island View. Thank you for your comments on the frying pan and knives. We will ensure they get replaced. Property Owner
