    Everything we needed. Bottom oven was not working. And a spindle needs replacing, in case anyone takes a toddler, it can climb through and potentially fall between the stairs. But overall a fantastic place and one day hopefully return. Will be recommend to friends and family

    I couldn't find how to reduce temperature for water. It was too hot water but boiler didn't have any temperature controller (it could be me being thick).

  • Jody

    The key access was so easy! The sleeping and bathroom facilities were great for the number of people we had. The kids loved the couches and TV area. There was ample space for us to cook and eat meals together. There was close parking for our vehicles. An added bonus for us was the clothes drier, which we rarely see in Europe. Grantown was lovely, and the local stores had everything that we needed or wanted. We hope to visit again in the future and hopefully stay for a longer period of time. Thank you!
