What guests are saying
This was all round exactly what we expected and more.
From the welcome we received with homemade scones and the personal message, to the facilities available. It was a holiday of a lifetime. I’d highly recommend to anyone.
We had a wonderful stay.
The photos don't quite do the location justice - you have a stunning view of the lake from the caravan as well as the hot tub! We loved sitting on the bench taking in the view in the mornings. There are 4 other properties in the quarry but you can't see any of them from the caravan so it feels totally secluded. We played in the quarry each morning and had the place to ourselves which was lovely. Only a mile from the start of the camel trail too. We can't wait to return next year but will definitely stay a full week then, we didn't have enough time to do everything we wanted!
We found some maintenance and cleaning issues with Tickeydoo that certainly shouldn't have been there and especially so reflecting the expensive charge of £1337 for a weeks hire.
Beautiful area overlooking the old quarry lake but guests should be aware that there is a fox hound kennels nearby and dogs barking, especially in the early morning should be expected. The jacuzzi on the patio area is the best feature of the place and even better if the outside area was cleaned cassionslly and the leaves and debris swept up. It would make a huge difference to see it tidy and the plant pots actually supporting some live plants! Inside, the rugs appeared dirty and needed dry cleaning or washing. The extractor filter in the bathroom was so thick with dust and grime that I was able to write "clean me" with my finger. Minor things like replacing the wall clock that wasn't working and providing sharp scissors and a decent size non slip shower mat would make all the difference. The metal oven trays need to be replaced and the oven door handle needs to be fixed. Again, a little thing like cleaning the windows would make a huge difference. We certainly didn't think the high rental charge reflected what we found.
