  : It was clean and easy
  : The heater didnt work at night so it was really cold inside the house. The description sells front View to Maiol Castello and it was not.

Very Good

  : The help desk was quick to help us right at the start as we were struggling to find the location as it was past 8.45pm and was pretty dark despite having some street lighting. Ross was quick to lead us to our location through the telephone call we made. And the neighbour was so helpful to our plight. Thank you so much. It was very well furnished. I have 3 children and they all have their own beds to sleep on. Happy. Kitchen is well stocked. The location is really good even for us who decided not to drive as it was just a 10min slow slow walk from the bus shelter. You can choose to move around the isle using the public buses or cab services. Ours was a short stay so we could still enjoy the isle slowly if you plan the bus schedule well. Love the ability to walk to the sea view within minutes.
  : We had to check in late (about 9pm) due to our limited schedule. Checking in late night would be challenging as the GPS location would not have the pinpoint location (limitation of GPS of up to 20m error). So we struggled to find the lodge for over 10 minutes in the cold drizzle. Perhaps some improved signage for easier identification near the lodge to right up the actual unit in the dark would really help. We faced a power trip the early early morning of our checkout. There was no access to the main circuit board (I walked around, both in and out of the house trying to find access to it). Fortunately the main lights throughout the rooms were still possible. The remaining ambient heat was sufficient to last us for the morning too. However, all wall sockets and all electrical heating were out of access and the ability to prepare breakfast was not possible. It would be good to further separate out the main circuit board to allow at least some essential access to specific power trips. We could not use all the electrical points in the kitchen and the sitting rooms and all the bed rooms.

  : Everything we needed after our travels disrupted due to a storm. Parking right outside. A much needed washing machine and dryer. Fantastic views. We appreciated being able to check in a bit early.
  : We arrived during the day but I can understand some of the other comments here about it being a little tricky to find. Perhaps a bigger sign? A new and larger frypan would be a huge help.

  : The location was great. The house was clean. BUT, the breakfast was nonexistent. Small cereal box without milk, jam but no bread and a few teaspoons of instant coffee. THIS IS A SELF CATERING!
  : We booked a B&B but basically found a self catering accommodation. For 2 people/ 2 days there were 4 small boxes of cereal but no milk, 4 pads of jam but no bread and a few teaspoons of instant coffee. We had to find a store to purchase breakfast that was supposed to be included. For the price we paid, that was very disappointing!!!

  : I booked Hillside but we were put next door in The Wee Hoose which was delightful and I have no complaints about that. But I was not told about the change, it was the lady who was staying in Hillside who was equally astounded when we turned up. She made a phone call to find out where we were to stay.
  : The advert said breakfast included and so we were rather horrified to see the breakfast for the 2 of us for 3 days. Please see photograph We didnt have food with us and so we had to dash out having just had a 200 mile journey. If wed known we would have been prepared

  : I had assumed we were getting a room in a house, so getting an entire small house (The Wee Hoose) to ourselves was a pleasant surprise! The house was great - well constructed and clean, with a nice view.

  : Great place, value and location
  : TV was hidden from the sofa. It needs to be moved over the fire place
