Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Sunny Mount clean and tidy upon arrival, with only a couple of reports of cleanliness issues such as dog hairs and a grubby fridge. The general consensus suggests a high standard of cleanliness, although there is room for improvement.
The location of Sunny Mount is highly praised for its convenience, being close to the beach, town, and train station. While the proximity to the train station was noted for causing some noise, the overall sentiment about the location is very positive.
Guests have consistently noted the comfort of Sunny Mount, with its spacious rooms and ample facilities for large groups. Some guests suggested the addition of fans and larger towels, but overall, the property is regarded as a comfortable holiday home.
The facilities at Sunny Mount are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample space for dining and relaxation. However, there are mentions of maintenance issues such as boiler problems and the need for new kitchen equipment, which slightly lower the score.

The property was perfect for our needs and in a brilliant location. We were made to feel so welcome by Sue with a cream tea waiting for us on arrival! Would highly recommend this property

Within an hour, the owner had contacted a plumber and he arrived and fixed the problem. Amazing! I would say the oven and the fridge were slightly grubby but the general cleanliness of the house was great. Brilliant place to stay as a group.
