Guests consistently describe the property as spotlessly clean, with only one mention of dog hair suggesting a slight oversight. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The property's location is celebrated for its spectacular views and tranquillity. It is noted as remote, which is ideal for some visitors seeking peace, but it may require planning for amenities and dining options.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with comfortable beds and a relaxing atmosphere. The conservatory is a highlight for many, adding to the overall comfort of the stay.
The property is well-equipped with modern facilities, though there were a few reports of minor maintenance issues such as blinds not working and heating adjustments needed. These were generally resolved quickly, indicating good responsiveness to guests' needs.

This is our second stay at the lookout only issue we had was there was no hand soap in the bathrooms and there was quite alot of dog hair so a little more attention needs to be provided to the cleaning

Lovely to visit if you want to switch off from life, just open the bifold doors and relax. The only downside is I donât cook on holiday and it was really hard to find somewhere to eat as the local pub and chip shop only served at lunchtime. The Ski bar on the caravan park is highly recommended,

It didn't disappoint! We loved the views and the birdwatching from "The Lookout" It's got really good fixtures, fittings and furnishings, very comfy sofa & chairs. well stocked kitchen tools, pots & pans. Great parking, right at the front of the property. A bit of constructive criticism would be to put the heating on the timer for when guests arrive, it was turned off and was very cold when we arrived, it took some heating up. Also just a little welcome pack of milk, coffee, tea and maybe a couple of biscuits for arrival would have been very welcoming as we had a rushed day and it would have been nice to catch our breath with a cuppa before going shopping. But the washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets were helpful as were the sponge/cloth, but no tea towel provided which was a shame. We will definitely be back as we had a great stay!
