"Lovely location with great views over the loch."
The property is very spacious and well equipped on the whole. However, the dishwasher wouldn't accept tablets which probably explained why some of the crockery in the cupboards were dirty. The biggest problems were the lack of an outside light in a very dark area and mould on the ceiling in the bathroom which put us off having a bath.
Many apologies for the dishwasher. I will ensure the tablet release drawer is fixed so that dishes are properly cleaned. Despite ventilation it can get very damp and I will ensure this is cleaned away. There are two outside lights, but the grounds are extensive, making it difficult to completely illuminate in a remote and natural area. I will provide a torch so guests have better light. Many thanks Property Owner
