  We had a lovely holiday at Halcyon Days property. The bedrooms and beds were extremely comfortable, the showers were perfect and cleaned well. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We did bring additional washing machine/dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid/disinfectant spray, toilet gel, bleach and spray as we used these everyday. We couldn’t make the dryer work but used these hanging rail on the balcony instead. The jacuzzi was fab and really enjoyed it. There were board games at the property to keep everyone entertained, which was a bonus. We booked this property because it had access to the Retallack Resorts indoor swimming pools free of charge (just got to call the resort and pre-book slots) with access to gym, sauna and steam room. We didn’t use the gym but the sauna wasn’t working when we got there which was a shame. There’s also entertainment that included at Retallack when booking this property for children and adults also a small playground/game room at the resort. The restaurant is terrible (the service was bad and it took 1.5 hours to get our food.) so remember to do a shop at the supermarket or have it scheduled for delivery to the property prior to coming. We regretted not doing this because everything was far away and we couldn’t get food delivery. Negatives: We had some minor hiccups at the property as the kettle was old, the barbecue wasn’t cleaned, the property is dog friendly so it didn’t match my cleanliness standards and vacuum wasn’t usable but aside from that we had a lovely stay. Rate 4/5 in spite of the negatives as we enjoyed our stay.

  We booked this house which looked ideal for our family holiday use. The site and location are superb for a family beach recreation getaway. SADLY the property Halcyon Days was certainly not as expected for the cost of the weeks rental. The property once we actually got inside .. (cleaners were late and very poor) was filthy Dogs hair dust cobwebs everywhere and absolutely no cleaning agents available. We went to the site shop bought bleach bin bags and cloths. Spent our first hour cleaning ! When we went to use the jacuzzi the patio slabs around it were loose very dangerous. The BBQ had been used and left with food in it Each balcony its furniture needed cleaning as did the patio furniture. We were contacted a few days before departure explaining the lakeside view and access was fenced off. No reason or explanation offered even after asking ? We still have no idea ? The grass area outside the patio area wasn’t cut as nothing can get in due to the Harris fencing ! As a family away celebrating a significant birthday we were desperately disappointed with the state of what should be a great house for vacation. It is neglected and in need of serious renovation especially in the communal areas. I’d recommend the site there are plenty of other houses lodges but avoid “Halcyon Days” until the faults are put right.

  My husband and I decided to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary at this place and we were happy with our decision 100%!

  We haven’t been away from kids and haven’t spent time just two of us for nine years. And wanted a secluded, quiet and romantic place with a hot tub and fire pit. We got all what we wanted and hosts were so welcoming and hospitable! We felt looked after and at the same time without any pressure or feeling that anyone is around. We enjoyed fire pit and got wood supply without any limit and we appreciated that this hut had everything one needs for a getaway like that. It was cosy, warm, sparkling clean and very comfortable everywhere. It has all a couple needs for a romantic stay! Bed sheets were fresh and crispy and plates, cutlery and cooking appliances were hug quality and it was nice to eat and drink using them. Hot tub was amazing! It gave us couple of hours of joy and pleasure sitting watching stars and enjoying silence and listening to music! Loved every minute there and I agree with other reviewers that this is a place to remember and keep coming back to. It’s definitely on our list to come back when we get another chance! Lovely place! Thank you to the hosts/owners! We will be back :)…

  The property was not very clean. In the cutlery draw was pretty dirty, there was rubbish beside the house and some sheets were quite stained/ marked. The shower in the upstairs twin room the temperature control was broken. The cooking equipment was minimal for an 8 person cottage and the oven was unpredictable and required a lot of monitoring to not burn food due to hot spots in the oven The fridge was so iced up affecting the space in the fridge but also meaning the risk of freezing the food if at the back of the fridge. I'd say also a small size of fridge for an 8 person cottage. 1 chair at the dining table was unsafe as it was falling apart. As the super king beds were zip link the option for them to be twins would have been handy. Although overall we had a lovely weekend the above points were noted by the group. There was a nice welcome pack of tea and coffee and cleaning pack.

  We have had a very satisfactory ‘glamping’ holiday.

  Considering the kind of experience we were after, it ticked all our boxes. The tent was spacious enough for the four of us (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 almost-teen) and had the right balance of amenities. The hot tub was an enjoyable experience in itself. Firing up the wood burners with the firelighters, kindling and wood provided provided a memorable experience for the children and ourselves as parents. The peaceful setting and the views of the surrounding beautiful countryside were appreciated. It was a haven to return to after our countryside walks and ramblings. The owners, Amber and Tony, were warm and welcoming and made our stay pleasant to remember. We would happily recommend this holiday property to anyone who’s never been glamping before, and even to those who have.
