Extremely clean, gardens magnificent. There were 13 of us and with two big sitting rooms everything went smoothly. Despite bad weather we had a great holiday with so much to see around about. Great beaches and wonderful stone circles. The jacuzzi bath doesn't work but that really didn't matter because the house znd gardens are fabulous.
