Otters View Reviews

Simcha
Amazing stay at Otters View! The accommodation was perfect and made for a relaxing holiday. Everything was clean and very comfortable. The hosts responded quickly when we needed firewood or help with anything and the location is just out of this world. Can highly recommend The only thing to note is that the floorboards are really creaky. We have a 7 month old so we were tip toeing around once they went to bed. Not a big issue though because they loved the holiday as well

Jacqui
Would never use Sykes cottages again. Getting to talk to someone was extremely difficult. All phone options refer customer back app. But when the app isnt working what use is that.
Antony
