Also well equipped. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Welcome gift appreciated. We did have some issues with property. Main one was sewage type smell in many parts of the property. Sign in utility indicates owners know there is a problem. Smell more than just in utility room. When arrived there was a live worm in toilet downstairs which was a bit off putting. Looked online I think this indicates main sewer pipe cracked. Upstairs bedroom needs to have a larger bed. Double too small for room. Also there is no useable parking at property.

Only down side is neighbour from next property who confronted us very aggressively over parking . If we had parked were we told us too we would have blocked door and his garage. We have rented viking apartments for many years and never had a issue over parking . But this does not reflect on keildon which brilliant would recommend to anyone but park elsewhere.

Saw a fishing boat being lifted out of the dock onto a lowloader one morning, from the balcony. There was everything we needed in the house. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children, never felt on top of each other. Had a problem with the dishwasher, it was fixed the same day. Excellent. OK a few cobwebs, but clean otherwise. Would go again. Fabulous holiday.
