One of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in. This was out fifth visit. Hosts Sally and Jill as usual extremely helpful and it was a pleasure to meet them in person. Hoping to return soon.

Wow! What a place! I'm pretty fussy and I have to say the Lookout ticked all the boxes for me. Absolutely spotless - everything was sparkling and fresh. Plump, sweet smelling fluffy towels, lovely clean comfy bedding. Great pillows and mattresses. Fully equipped - there was nothing we needed that wasn't there. STUNNING views! Great location, quiet building. One of those places where you think 'just imagine how amazing it would be to live here'. Honestly, it surpassed all expectations and I hope we can visit again and for a longer break next time!

The apartment was excellent. Everything was perfect However, on our first evening we had a shower and there was a damp smell but got less and less each evening. I did not enter that in the visitors book in the apartment. Just thought it had no use for a while. Neil Clarke....
