We stayed at Otters Cove over the…
We stayed at Otters Cove over the Easter weekend, and while the location and the lodge setting itself were absolutely spectacular, the experience was unfortunately let down by several issues.
On arrival, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the interior, as well as the general standard of the furnishings and facilities, which felt quite subpar. We attempted to raise this immediately via email, but received no response. Calling the contact number wasn’t any more successful, as it repeatedly went to voicemail.
We also experienced problems with the TV, which was very outdated and not functioning properly. Although this was eventually addressed, it took around 24 hours to resolve, which was frustrating during a short stay.
Things worsened following Storm David, when we were left without hot water and heating for the remainder of our stay. Again, we tried contacting the team, but the phone line continued to go to voicemail, leaving us without support during a fairly uncomfortable situation.
Since returning home, I’ve made several attempts to follow up via email, simply hoping for a response or even an acknowledgment of the issues we encountered, but have received nothing.
It’s such a shame, as this place really could be spectacular with just a few improvements. A thorough deep clean throughout would make a huge difference, along with replacing the tired and heavily worn cooking trays and utensils, as well as the cheap cutlery and glasses. Small additions like a mirror in the master bedroom would also be helpful, and some proper outdoor furniture would allow guests to fully enjoy the incredible views.
At a price point of over £400 per night for a two-bedroom accommodation, we expected a much higher standard across the board. As it stands, the property felt sparse and somewhat unloved, which is disappointing given its potential.
Given the lack of response both during and after our stay, I feel it’s only fair to share this experience to make others aware.

Hi Karen,
Thank you for getting in touch regarding your recent experience at Otters Cove.
We have had a look into this and cannot find a booking for this property through ourselves under your name. We also have been unable to locate any missed calls or emails from yourself to our customer support team.
As a third-party booking platform, we don’t manage the property directly. However, the quality of the accommodation we feature is very important to us, and we’re happy to guide you on how to submit a formal complaint to the hotel via their managing agent so they can address your concerns and improve their service if the property booking was made through us here at Dog Friendly Cottages.
You can contact us anytime at support@dogfriendlycottages.co.uk, and we’ll be glad to assist in passing your feedback on.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope your next booking with us is much smoother and more enjoyable.
Best wishes,
Chelsea

Filed 3 times to take booking.
You failed to take the booking on the first attempt. You then failed to take the payment on the second. You passed the details of the booking over to cottages.com with the wrong information. You failed to supply the payment information. So my booking has now been cancelled. I will try again.

Simple, Clear, and Reliable Booking Process
I had a really smooth and stress-free experience booking through Sykes Holiday Cottages via Rest Easy Group. The whole process was straightforward, clear, and easy to follow from start to finish. Communication was excellent, and it was reassuring to know there’s a dedicated Customer Success Team available if needed.
Everything was well explained, and I felt confident that any queries or changes could be handled quickly. It made the whole booking experience feel simple and well supported. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again—highly recommend! 😊

Hi Deidre,
Thanks for leaving us some feedback from your recent booking on Dog Friendly Cottages.
I’ve looked into this for you and can see that your first contact with us was yesterday, when my colleague advised you to reach out to the Property Manager regarding your booking confirmation. As a third-party listing agent, we’re unfortunately unable to provide booking confirmations directly, as these are issued by the Property Manager who handles the booking and payment.
We’ve also checked our records and haven’t received any previous emails or previous missed calls from you.
If you need any further assistance in contacting the Property Manager or obtaining your confirmation, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’re more than happy to help. You can reach us at support@snaptrip.com.
Best wishes,
