Even with the issue we had, if it was resolved then the score would have been very high. However we checked in on Saturday, on Sunday we tried to use the main bathroom to bathe our baby daughter, but the water wouldnât drain out. Taking out the plug revealed months, probably years of filth. We had to try and take some out, handfuls of hair, dirt and grime just so the water would start draining, all be it very slow. No phone number for the owner just an email, which was sent with pictures, I also contacted Sykes who said someone would be out on the Monday to resolve it. Monday came still no reply from the owner and no one came to fix it Multiple more messages and emails all with no response Tuesday came - called Sykes - someone would come and sort it today - no one came More messages and emails - no response Thursday called and raised a complaint - still waiting - we cut our holiday short and left. The second bathroom was completely unusable in this time so we had 5 people all using the en-suite in the main bedroom for showers, and we had to resort to bathing our daughter in the sink!!! The lack of cleanliness was horrendous that it had got to that point, but the lack of care or even acknowledgment was the real issue. Also no microwave which made sterilising bottles more time consuming, but not the end of the world.

Idlewild 2 is furnished to a high standard with a touch of luxury. it is in a great area and location and we were all sad to leave it was like home from home and we would thoroughly reccommend this property to anybody. the restaurant called the Tap House close by in the village was excellent , as well as the amazing bakery ! Cant wait to return. Only thing missing was a microwave .

Care needs to be taken when walking to and from the property as the road is uneven.
