Beautiful and peaceful, very high quality.
Beautiful, large home and pool in a stunning setting. Nick was very responsive and flexible with duration of stay. Very high quality interiors including bedding and towels. Jayne and team were very helpful and responsive also throughout the stay. Peaceful location yet close by car to Duras – definitely recommend this home. Added bonus of seeing lots of birds of prey including Peregrine Falcons.
Great property and location.
The property and location are amazing. 5 adults and 5 children stayed everyone loved the pool and the outside terrace was fabulous for eating and relaxing. Nick was very attentive and helpful with his prompt replies, info and communication. Jayne and Roy were very helpful and accommodating once at the property. Lovely pool and outside spaces. Views of the lake are very serene. Comprehensive info on the house and how things work. Ideal location for visiting both small villages and the main attractions. Great local walks in the surrounding countryside. Very quiet and peaceful.
Perfect!
What a wonderful house to holiday in! We were 10 adults in total, so using all the accommodation, and there was still plenty of space ! The house is so well equipped and had everything we needed and more! The beds were super comfy with beautiful cotton Egyptian bedding. Towels were provided along with pool towels. The bathrooms , especially the newly refurbished ones were great, with upper showers and always plenty of hot water. We ate outside on the veranda mainly, although were forced inside due to mixed weather! We were still able to sit 10 around the dinning table. We even lit the fire in the upstairs lounge one evening which made the room super cosy and warm! We used the BBQ just once, but this is in a lovely sunny area! We also played table tennis, which was great fun and enjoyed the archery! Jane ( local housekeeper) was helpful on our arrival and again when we saw her on our departure. A lovely house in a lovely area! Would love to go back!
Stunning Place.
Absolutely stunning place! The house is huge and beautiful inside, particularly the bedrooms and bathrooms on the top floor. Wonderful, big kitchen with everything one needs and more. Beautiful terrace and a lovely pool. Enough space to play ball games on the grass. Very much enjoyed the ping pong table. Duras is 8min away and a lovely town. Recommend the night market there on Thursdays. We were two families with 4 children aged 11-15 and everyone had a fantastic time and hardly wanted to leave the place.
Such a beautiful place to stay.
This was our second visit and everything was just a gorgeous as the previous year. So tastefully decorated, clean with everything one could wish for. We really did not want to leave!
Many thanks
A stunning place to stay, beautifully styled.
A truly wonderful place to stay with amazing views and location. The pool area and interior is beautifully presented. A special place to visit and stay, just perfect!
