"This property had everything you need when on the mountain all day. Bathrooms had been recently renovated which was great. Nice big towel rail for the 6 of us. Would have been handy to have some hooks in the bathroom. Just a pity there wasn't a hand basin in the laundry toilet because that defeated the purpose of having a second toilet with full occupancy. Beds were very comfortable and house was well laid out with a noce cosy fire.Had to wash some crockery, cutlery, glasses and bread boards when we arrived as not clean.Playground at the school was a good size with lots of activities. Overall it was a good stay."
