Thanks for your feedback. We did open the unit at no extra cost for your group as the instructions I sent were not read . Please note a dryer was not included on the listing and these can be misused with large groups and burnt out. We provide drying racks that can be placed in front of the fire and the accomodation is priced accordingly. Thank you for leaving the place tidy.

There was plenty of space for our extended family of 16 with the 5 bathrooms being a bonus. No queues! The children enjoyed the expansive indoor and outdoor space - space for active play, board games and for those who wanted time out alone. Not flash but comfortable. One of the best houses we have found for our annual “big family holiday “

Thanks for your review. This accommodation is very bach style and is priced accordingly and advertised as this . As discussed initially, your groups expectations may have been better off suited to a newer and more modern accommodation rather than a bach and the whole experience of what a bach accommodation offers. Unfortunately the house was not left as found. However appreciate your review.. Thanks again.
