“The house is in a very peaceful location and the facilities on offer are good.”

There are some items that could do with minor repairs or being serviced such as kitchen wall unit doors not staying in place, sauna start up being tricky, pillows could do to be a bit firmer, improved cleaning of shower areas, tumble drier needs checking regularly for over-flowing condensate collection and should the kitchen layout be redesigned sometime in the future, we would suggest moving the dishwasher next to the fridge as that corner of the kitchen is too crowded when a number of people ...

There are some items that could do with minor repairs or being serviced such as kitchen wall unit doors not staying in place, sauna start up being tricky, pillows could do to be a bit firmer, improved cleaning of shower areas, tumble drier needs checking regularly for over-flowing condensate collection and should the kitchen layout be redesigned sometime in the future, we would suggest moving the dishwasher next to the fridge as that corner of the kitchen is too crowded when a number of people are working in the room. The oven could do with a good clean too. However, there are many good points such as loads of space inside and out with fantastic grounds, great TV/entertainment, super hot tub. Great for kids (big and small)

“I'm not sure the house had been cleaned just before we arrived as there were dead flies about and the fridge wasn't super clean.”

Lovely position of the house and facilities were great. For the price might expect better quality of mattresses and bedding. We were lucky with the weather and did some great activities including gorge walking.
