The house was well equipped with all the requirements for self catering. Instructions were easy to follow. The house was clean, tidy, bed linen and towels were clean and fresh. My only constructive criticism would be to number the bedrooms on the listing as they are numbered in the house as this would make it easier for allocating rooms - for me as the booker I was travelling from the highlands and was the last family member to arrive and the rest of the family didnât want to put their luggage in the rooms incase they took the wrong one

Would definitely stay again. Thank you so much. Owners had left external lights on for us with it being dark at time of arrival and the heating was on so it was nice and warm on arrival. Very clean and tidy (just a few cobwebs on the light fittings in some rooms, but some of the room ceilings were very high). Only a short (10-15 min) walk into town centre. Shop at the bottom of the street and plenty of takeouts. Foot wash for muddy/sandy boots (though was great idea) we just didn't need it as it was very frosty when we were there). Owners had left us some washing up liquid a tea towel and a sponge. Toilet roll in all bathrooms and some rooms had hand wash, some didn't. No dishwasher tablets (bought some and left them in cupboard for next person). No testing strips for the hot tub so didn't end up using as couldn't smell and chlorine. Spent most of our time in the games room, the living room was lovely but it was very cold. Didn't see thermostat for this room till we were leaving. The room directly next to single bedroom (with the balcony). This mattress needs replacing, we wanted this room but mattress was so uncomfortable (just at the end of its life that's all). Would highly recommend this property and stay again.
