“The cottage was very very dirty when we arrived on the Friday night. Other than clean sheets on the beds it appeared nothing had been cleaned since it was last used. Floors were filthy and hadn't been hoovered, hair every where, dirty toilet, rotten food in the sink, dirty surfaces, cobwebs - I could easily go on listing things. After complaining to the owner the following morning we were told it would be cleaned that day. When we returned it looked exactly the same. So we ended up cleaning the whole place ourselves. There were very few cleaning products or cloths. The owner eventually arrived on Saturday eve to say sorry. He said he'd bring some cleaning stuff round the next day but didn't even bother to do that. The whole place needs some proper effort and more things to make it homely - it's very basic. Other than crockery there was very little in the kitchen. Other than bedside tables there's no where to put anything in the main bedroom. The garden - front and back needs some attention. There are nettles and brambles across the path as you go up to the property and the wooden steps are wobbling. They didn't leave the WiFi code for us. The drive is on a corner of busy road and quite dangerous to pull out on to. I did contact Holiday Cottages about this weeks ago but they haven't replied at all. So, I think it's only right that I leave this review of our experience.”

“This is our second stay in The Mowhay Everything as expected, clean and tidy. Comfortable and relaxing. It's on a working farm but we were never disturbed by noise. Beautiful surroundings Take your time driving down the long driveway, I put My car in neutral from the first bend and just slowly rolled down, it's a little bumpy but just take it easy. Love the heated pool Was looking forward to the afternoon tea that welcomed us last year but alas...we had some very nice biscuits to greet us instead! Would definitely stay here again”

“Very musty smell, cobwebs everywhere, dust all up the stairs treads, windows stuck fast including the fire escape in bedroom (husband forcefully managed to loosen this). Very dark, had to have lights on continuously. This was due to trees becoming too big and overgrown. All cooking equipment in cupboards dirty, had to wash before being able to use them. Outside chairs and tables were dirty and very uninviting. A visitors book would be good to give recommendations for food, beaches etc. On the plus side we slept well, a very comfortable bed. Sorry to have to be so negative, but on this occasion very disappointing.”

“The palms was lovely and clean with all the amenities required. Julie and Mike were really welcoming and were contactable throughout our stay if we needed! We visited the palms a couple of days after our wedding. Mike and Julie had left us flowers, prosecco and a card as well as a mr and mrs sign which was lovely! Will definitely book again!”

“First of all , You made booking one of the properties very quick and easy. We chose the apartment as it was in the area we wanted to be and had everything necessary for a three day visit. We were warm and comfortable and were happy with the car parking too which is a designated space. From there it's just a few steps to the building , the lift and the first floor apartment. At no time did we hear any noise from the remaining apartments. Altogether, a well positioned , comfortable holiday home.”

“The problems I encountered were primarily around the bathrooms. The property was advertised as accessible. The two small wetrooms had no rails for a disabled person to hold onto and no shower wheelchair or stool. I couldnt shower throughout my stay. It wouldnt take much to make these nice little bathrooms much more accessible. (THis would increase her market) The item provided after I spoke to the owner was for over the toilet and too high to be any use to me. No rails around toilet either. The sofas needed replacing, in my view. I enjoyed the farm setting and the cows and the farmer was very helpful.”

“The ship was in a great location, overlooking the river and good for exploring the area. It could definitely do with a bit of an update, the kitchen was not very well equipped in terms of utensils, there was no bbq and it needs better cleaning, however this did not detract from our enjoyment of the family break.”

“Nice wee cottage in a quiet area very close to the beach. Clean, comfortable and with almost everything you could need (a couple of smaller pots with lids would make cooking easier.”
