"The house is a large space that could suit big groups, but we encountered several significant issues.The main one was that the property hadn’t been prepared for our arrival. Although we were initially delayed by an incorrect key-box code, this became minor once inside: 2 bedrooms were unassembled, furniture was stacked from floor to ceiling in one room, and the kitchen was missing basic essentials for our group of 8 (no bowls, 2 cups).Our biggest concern was safety. The staircase bannisters had been removed and replaced with rough plywood with exposed nails, which felt unsafe - especially with children. The property also had visible damage and didn’t resemble the photos. A neighbour mentioned there had been an incident with a previous occupant the day before our arrival, which explained the condition, but none of this had been communicated to us.Although a partial refund was issued, the property was unfortunately not ready or fully safe for the duration of our stay. We have since been informed that a 'calendar block' was removed in error, allowing our booking to proceed when it should not have. Rather than being transparent about this (bearing in mind we booked 8 weeks in advance) the agency rushed the necessary repairs, leaving parts of the home incomplete and unsafe. This created some serious issues for us, and we would therefore advise caution before making booking here. Note - parking outside is permit-only, although the agent did offer to cover any tickets."

"We had an amazing stay at Kinley Tower. The views are lovely and it is a very peaceful spot. Surrounded by countryside the walks from the Tower, including along the beach are fantastic! The Tower was equipped with everything you could need and spotlessly clean! The owners made every part of the booking/check in and departure very easy. They even went out of their way to return something to us that we had left behind. We would wholeheartedly recommend a stay in your own little piece of history!"
"I booked for 4 nights,stayed for the first then left,i think that says it all,the room stank of weed.when i got home i had to wash ALL of my clothes,including the ones i hadn't worn that where hanging in the wardrobe...dreadful experience "
"We didn’t actually stay in the property as my fiancé had an accident and we had to rebook for 24/5/25. The owner was kind enough to let us change the dates. We look forward to our stay in may and will then review the property and hope it’s a lovely as the customer service, we have already been provided. "
