  Yes, where do we start?

  First it should be noted that this relates only to the property and it’s Sykes description. The property and it’s furnishings are very ‘dated’, and we would question the criteria by which Sykes shows it’s rating of 3 ticks. On arrival we were met by the owner who handed us the key and took us into the building. (Previous properties had a key box, providing COVID protection). There was no NHS Covid QR code or hand sanitiser evident on entering the building. There was no clear information relating to items, e.g, heaters, a new combi microwave oven. This is a new item which can’t be used due to a lack of information. Sykes description lists nearby walking, fishing, cycling and golf. There is no information relating to these or any evidence of them. An information folder did exist but contained none of the aforementioned items. It did contain a schedule of smoke alarm tests, with dates etc, but this had no information in it whatsoever. End of stay information , e.g. instructions re laundry, keys, re-cycling. Fire instructions were only found during the week stuck to the top of the washing machine in the kitchen. The bathroom: one wall has a shaving light incorporating the electric shaver point on it above a mirror. This is fine for electric shaving, but for those of us who shave wet, the wash basin is on a different wall with no mirror about 2-3 feet away. The electric toothbrush can be charged from the shaver light, but only when the light is on! Overnight?? The shower soap caddy is not secured, keeps falling into the bath. The kitchen: reluctant to use cupboards due to ‘old’ smell in them. Sykes description makes no mention of the door between this and the adjoining semi-detached property which allows sound to pass between the two. In view of all of this, including a very uncomfortable bed, we were happy to cut our holiday short by 2 days and return home. This is the third Sykes property we’ve used this year, the others being Curlew Cottage and Little Westwards., both of which were excellent. Had Underlaines been the first booking, the others would have definitely been cancelled! Readers be aware. Sykes description of this property is undoubtedly open to interpretation. Words and photographs alone are not sufficient. We were very disappointed with this booking which spoilt our holiday and will welcome any discussion with Sykes! We will be very careful in our choices in future.

  Cosy little ground floor property.

  Good access as an amputee. Large living room and well equipped kitchen. Bathroom with overhead shower and bath. Two good sized bedrooms and comfortable beds. Spectacular views from windows overlooking fields with sheep and cattle grazing. Loads of piping hot water and washing machine and tumble dryer. Local shop is a ten minute walk and stocks almost anything you may need, pub nearby but didn't use that one much as access was difficult for me but found the Old Wainhouse Inn about four miles away, did fantastic food and very friendly staff. Host Sue was there to greet us on arrival and answered a couple of queries during our stay promptly. Was a carton of milk left for us when we arrived, much appreciated although we did bring our own.

  What a wonderful place this is.

  If you are looking for peace and quiet then you will find it at Honey pot lodge. In a beautiful area of the countryside, but not too far away from anywhere. The lodge itself is extremely comfortable, with everything that you would need. Very high standards of furnishings, well equipped and spotlessly clean. We took our dog, and there are lots of lovely places to go walking. The beaches are all within easy driving distance. The site itself is nice and small, and extremely well maintained. It is so peaceful, truly a very relaxing place to stay. The owner of the lodge was incredibly helpful, nothing was too much trouble, as was the manager of the site. I really can’t recommend this place highly enough, and we hope to return!

  Lovely home, welcoming host, Sue.

  Property suitable for our needs. Connecting door to other property run by same person. The couple staying there were quite loud at times when talking, so people staying at Underlanes need to be aware of potential for noise. We might have been noisy to them... Property has fields behind, with owners own cows and sheep - great to see them so close. Had a couple of issues with light bulb, and small leak by chimney breast (not surprising with awful weather) and Sue was apologetic and helpful. Cutlery and crockery need rinsing before use as there was a slight smell of damp to them daily where they sit in the cupboards, but this was no hindrance to our time at Underlanes, and we would definitely book the property again.

  Honeypot lodge is part of a holiday village but the location is very quiet, with no light pollution.

  There is a small road immediately outside the village but traffic is very light. The garden is not enclosed so be careful if you have wandering dogs! I understand that the owner may rectify this in the future. Inside was very light and welcoming. Adequate cooking facilities. Good internet, OK phone signal but that depends on your provider. Lovely wet room and waterfall shower downstairs, more traditional bath/shower setup upstairs. Plenty of rugs for the dogs to lie on. Deb was very proactive prior to our stay, texting us lots of useful info and dog friendly beaches. Nearest dog-friendly beach 10 miles away at Black Rock. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it to those who want peace and quiet!
