    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Norman - Verified booking

      This is a beautiful property in lovely surroundings.

      A nice welcome pack was left including a bottle of prosecco. There is a well laid out open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a veranda and seating with extensive views to the lake and the hills opposite. Our weather was unfortunately not good enough to let us use it more than twice. There was a good range of board games in the lounge. Having good views also comes at a slight cost in that the property is at the top of quite a steep hill. We didn’t find this a great problem despite two of our party being in their 70s. The three bedrooms were roomy and comfortable with 2 having en-suite bathrooms. We had some doubt about what the cleaners had done before our arrival. The bathroom floors had been mopped, but the floor still had loose mop strands or (dog) hair on the floor. One of our party spent an hour “hoovering” up (dog) hair and spider webs (some with residents) from room corners and along door frames. There was also a pair of pants that had been there for some time on one of the outdoor decks. The main TV in the lounge is a Sky Glass unit that I believe is directly connected to broadband. While we had no problems with laptops or phones using the wi-fi the TV regularly had sync issues between the picture and sound. Our solution was to watch it on “catch up” after the programme had been running for several minutes. As said above, this is a lovely property in a great location, and would definitely considerate it again for a holiday. We notice from the owner’s replies to other comments that they are planning some extensive upgrades next year. Can I suggest then, consideration be given putting full length mirrors in the bedrooms, preferably close to a power point, so ladies can use a hair dryer near a mirror. One bedroom only had a mirror in the bathroom with a razor point. Alternatively, a dressing table with a mirror near a power point would be good.

      We stayed at Jasper's Retreat in November for a week.

      Weather wasn't brilliant but still found plenty to do. There was 6 of us and 3 dogs. There was plenty of room for all. The accommodation was big and roomy but still cosy. The underfloor heating and fire was great on the chilly evenings. The bathrooms were fab as was the walk in showers. Plenty of hot water. The bedrooms are a great size and the beds were very comfortable and all have good sized TVs. The kitchen had everything you could of wished for...plenty of cutlery, plates, dishes, mugs, glasses etc. The dining room table is big with plenty of elbow room and the furniture in the seating area is big and comfortable. Great size T.V too. The views are spectacular. I would love to go again in the summer months to be able to sit outside and look at those views. We did have a power cut due to storm Debi arriving but it really didn't bother us as we had torches and it didn't last that long, only around half hour. Great shopping in the town too. Good choice of restaurants and pubs. The dogs loved it too and didn't get under each others paws as there was plenty of room for them. They are biggish dogs too...Rottweiler, Alsatian and a medium sized rescue dog. Great field just up the hill for them to have a run round and also a park area down by the lake which is very secure and fenced off. Thank you for a great stay. We will no doubt be back.

      The cottage is lovely and cosy.

      However, the leak coming from the skylight completely ruined the stay for us. After I reported it the first time, somebody came out to patch it over yet they managed to leave a large gap at the top still allowing water to drip in. At this point I were past it and just kept lots of towels down over night. The company rang the following morning to check and I explained that there were a gap left enabling water to still leak into the cottage. Someone else came later that day to resolve it. That was all sorted as far as the leak from the skylight however it left the cottage looking really dark even in full day light. As the week progressed, the weather continued to rain the whole time. The last 2 nights in the cottage the weather was so bad that the wood placed over the broken skylight was that soaked with rain it managed to proceed to leak onto the top of the stairs again. After reporting this twice we decided that the best option would be to just leave a towel covering the affected area. Usually it wouldn’t worry me however I have got an 8 month old who I was petrified of carrying downstairs incase I slipped and dropped him due to the leak. Apart from the leak the cottage was really nice.

    • Stacey - Verified booking

      Spend a lovely week here with family.

      There was a range of ages in our party. Myself and my husband and our 23 month old. There was also both sets of grandparents ranging from from 70 to 80 years, and 2 dogs. The house was beautiful and spacious, and has everything you could need. Gorgeous views across the lake and beyond and lovely outside furniture if you get nice weather. It’s quite a steep hill to and from the cottage but there’s a gentler route, if you turn left down the first bit of hill when coming out of the cottages street and then turn right onto a side street, it brings you out at a children’s playground and The Angel Inn pub and it’s not so steep to head out on foot. We had an issue with the hob not heating up and we tried everything, Sykes were really quick to get someone out to us. Turns out the big blue pan is not compatible with an induction hob, so really it needs removing so you doesn’t happen again. The house has lots of board games which was great and the sky glass tv had movies and sports and Netflix so it was perfect for relaxing after a long day. We absolutely loved our trip and will definitely be back to Jaspers Retreat.

      The loaction is great, however the cleanliness is not the greatest - could do with a new cleaner I think.

      There were long hairs that had not been hoovered up and stuck to my foot Yuck! The bathroom bath plug must be clogged up as it is open but the water does not go down and you end up with water half way up your legs for even a quick shower! Then all of the dirt that was already in the plug comes back up and sticks to the bath - not nice. Some toilet paper left and a welcome pack would have been nice! and a washing machine even better. The best way to leave and access the premises for ease is via the back way, but that definitely needs some TLC - very dirty and paint coming off everywhere, the next door neighbours have a nice back area so that would be great and the furniture at the front is nothing like the picture - that needs some TLC as well - probably only small things I know but they all add up and these things make a difference, but having said that on the whole everything else was great and appreciated the parking space. I am just being honest not moaning just stating a few facts so sorry if it sounds negative. Weather was absolutely fabulous - not sure if you arranged that but it was great
