fantastic location short walk from the main front, spotless clean, welcomed with a wee fruit cake and scone pack. This house had everything large fridge freezer, bar with pool table and outside hot tub. The only thing i would say would be to have a door leading to the back hot tub for easy access but either side doors took you to the rear. We also left with the key attatched to our car key and nothing was any hassle for the owners we where able to post the key back with no issues.
