Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"Lovely cottage was very homely and very clean ."
All the stuff you need for a comfortable stay . Does say dog friendly but be aware they are not allowed upstairs or on furniture. Lovely little garden perfect for a pooch . The only little downside and it is little is the chairs in the lounge could do with updating not so comfy that’s a small thing otherwise a lovely place to stay.

"The property was exactly as described."
Jude sent very detailed and easy to follow instructions before the stay which made our arrival easy.
The property was extremely spacious and well equipped with everything needed. There were loads of towels and bedding and the kitchen has everything you could ever need The fresh milk and flowers were an added bonus.
Our only point of note was for those with small children the listing mentions a stair gate but be aware this is only at the bottom of the stairs and not the top
We would definitely look to return to this property again and would recommend it to anybody wanting to visit the Island

We only tried once to use the hob (induction) and found the instructions too difficult to follow and ended up using the microwave. Otherwise the kitchen was very clean and well laid out. There were only 2 of us, but the property could easily accommodate 5 people. The garden was also well maintained and looked pretty.

Thank you Jude and Sykes for a wonderful holiday!

"Very nice, spacious place, well equipped, we especially liked the garden."
One suggestion is to provide a recycling bin in the kitchen to help visitors keep their stack of recyclable objects tidy. Note: Some of the games are broken now/worn out and need replacing (e.g. Guess Who is missing cards, Scrabble unplayable so much of it is missing).

The cottage is ideally placed for both!
A couple of small points (not criticisms) We noticed the hot water never got particularly hot and wondered whether we should have done something ourselves to boost the system but were reluctant to “fiddle”
Also the dish washer wasn’t particularly efficient. We used a number of different programmes but the dishes weren’t always cleaned off properly.

"Good location , nice walk across field to Totland Bay each eve to watch sunset."
Had blackout blinds which is always helpful & no street light to disturb sleep. However I felt that the house needed a deep clean, my dog has come back with fleas ? Although in a quiet setting there are 2 young and very noisy children next door. Fence needed to be higher as every time adults walked out of garden could see in so no privacy. Would suggest that the climbers on back wall be cut right back as they came up and around bedroom window which meant couldn't have windows open in sweltering heatdue to insects and spiders coming in.
