Good accomodation. We booked this house for a family wedding. Great for couples to have their own bathroom and plenty of space with multiple lounges. Nice comfy couches with a good sized kitchen and dining. Only advice would be not great for those with mobility issues as quite a few stairs. Also driveway can be tricky if you have a lower! Best to rent an suv!

House is nice and spacious, lots of bathrooms and good sized rooms. Views are magnificent and the spa is a treat.
However, we visited in May and the house was freezing! Only plug in wall heaters (some of which didn't even work). Only 2 bathrooms had decent running hot water, the other 2 showers water dribbled out - not good enough! Oone bedroom is only accessible externally which was never mentioned. Doors, TV's, cupboards not functioning properly. No soaps, bodywash etc. Pretty disappointing for the amount of money we paid.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the space, the beautiful views, and the spa! It’s always great to know that our guests appreciate those aspects.
However, I’m truly sorry to hear about the issues you faced with heating, water pressure, and some of the amenities. I understand how uncomfortable it must have been with the cold weather and the heaters not functioning properly. Thank you for bringing these concerns to my attention. I can assure you we’re taking steps to resolve them. I truly appreciate your feedback, and I hope you still had an enjoyable stay despite the challenges. We would love to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future once these issues have been resolved.
