Summary: Millpond House is a lovely home however several issues with our stay. The home was not clean - it was extremely dusty, some crockery and cutlery were dirty and the oven was dirty. Outside had not been dusted or swept and the bins outside were overflowing. This was communicated to the owner who offered us a late check out as compensation. I really feel the cleaning fee should have been refunded. Also, the bedrooms upstairs have no window coverings at all so at first light all who slept upstairs were wide awake. It's not really 4 bedrooms! There is no toilet upstairs either which is clear on the listing however is a problem when guests are all over a certain age. The beds were extremely comfortable and the master suite delightful however again, very flimsy window coverings which did not a slow for a weekend sleep in. There was no bluetooth speaker in the living room so when playing music had to use a very old, dusty and unreliable system in the mater bedroom. Overall I would not recommend this property for the price. It very much felt like the family had rushed out and thrown all their belongings into a cupboard for a few days. I have used VRBO several times now and this was an extremely disappointing stay from the points of view above. Regards, Danielle

Summary: All that you need in a base to explore this beautiful region. More than you need to simply stay pit sit back and hang out in this clean well appointed cozy with very comfortable beds. Sit by fire and play the games available. Stay in and use great kitchen bbq facilities and eat around large table. They say they cater for large groups and they actually deliver. Enough couch dining table bathroom bed and kitchen supplies for a big group even salad bowl. Love can’t wait to return.

Summary: Beautiful location and house. Found the door hard to unlock and the toilet in the unsuite wobbled. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need.
