Lovely, big house in beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay here immensely.However, it could do with a bit of TLC, particularly the shower cubicles. The bin situation is also not ideal - mostly impeded by the fact the council only empties them every 3-4 weeks, so if you're staying during a week they're not emptied, you can't put them out even if they're full which they were for us, so you're relying on the people staying the week they are emptied to put them out! Perhaps the manager should just do it!

A great family sized house with all necessary facilities. Excellent location which backs onto parkland and the river. Very quiet but close to centre of town and all facilities.

A second visit to Haugh House and overall it is perfectly pleasant. A couple fo things however: the curtains in the master bedroom still don't operate properly for the second year in a row and we arrived to full bins which weren't collected during our stay which made waste management difficult.
