We thoroughly appreciated the back story to the mansion and the great care taken in all the planning, design and maintenance of both the outside and inside including the beautiful main hall area. A great location for travel around the peninsula and into the western, central and northern lake districts; peaceful; and nearby shops within 10mins walking distance added to make our fortnight stay easy and relaxing. Thank you for the outdoor games too and getting more badminton nets. The means to chill outdoors as if in one's back garden really enhanced the whole experience. We thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay and wonder what all the other apartments are like! Some things perhaps to think about for enhancement might include: -check the cupboard light sensor in the bedroom with access to the outside. It wouldn't turn off or stay off, and we resorted to switching it off at the fuse box. Also, same bedroom, one of the bulbs in the ceiling light wouldn't turn off. -the sauce pans seem to leak water sometime after they've been washed and put back in the drawer. -perhaps reconsider the bedside light shade choices in the master bedroom as they're quite a glare. -the freezer is unfixed in the side and so pushes back, sometimes meaning the door doesn't shut fully unless you make a point of checking. -the fridge door may also need a check as that sometimes seems to not close easily even when it's been checked that no contents are preventing the door from closing well. That's all one can think of now. Minor things and none detracted from the enjoyment of our stay. (Please feel free to publish the first paragraph above and keep the enhancements list private.)

Everywhere was spotless and well maintained. We did have a safety issue in the bathroom which could be easily remedied A non slip mat is needed in the shower as both my wife and I are elderly and infirm and found the shower base surface to be slippy when wet. To ease getting into and out of the shower safely a grab / safety rail positioned on the left hand wall as you get in to the shower would greatly improve safety as there is nothing to grab hold of getting into and out of the shower. We did actually purchase a bath mat for use during our stay. All in all a great stay and very relaxing. Thank you.
