The location and views are amazing, the things that put me off going again were the tiny useless bathroom sink, the oven is filthy and the fat smokes when on, I pulled out oven trays covered in dripping grease had to wash before use. Stains on the sofa and some parts not hoovered, the toilet still had urine stains and hair around the seat. Even found hair and a dead fly in the fridge. These are all simple things that would make this five star, the parking is a pain and difficult.So nice touches though, like the binoculars and downstairs tea facilities, comfortable bed. Just sort out the above and yes I would go back. IOW is spectacular.

Lovely location with amazing views. It was clean and we had excellent communications either the owner. We were a little disappointed with the outdoor space as we thought the lawned area shown in one of the pictures with part of the property.

.My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunny South Lodge. Only a few minutes walk from Lake station (important as we were both non-drivers).The property itself was a delight. with the bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and living room and kitchen above. It's position on the Cliff Path meant we had wonderful views while eating breakfast.We would highly recommend Sunny South Lodge for not only it's location but also for all the amenities provided.
