Great family weekend

We had a lovely family weekend in Forestside House. It was very clean and well located. It sleeps 16 but the dining and seating accommodation does not cater for 16. We were 10 and could eat together but not sit and relax together. The dining table and a couple of chairs were not very stable. One of the oven doors was broken and a couple of cooker rings were not working. This made cooking for a large number challenging. We are unlikely to stay here again.

cold March with family

Good: Property is at it appears on the photos/video - a beautiful, comfortable house. Beds comfortable and bedrooms clean. Lots of books and outdoor play equipment to keep the children amused which were very welcome. Bad: The worst thing was arriving at 4pm on Saturday to an extremely cold house which took over 12 hours to heat up - no-one slept well the first night. Once the house did heat up then the heating just carried on heating the house. There are thermostatic valves on the radiators but no master thermostat to switch off the boiler (which we could not find) once a decent temperature was reached. It cost me £300 for a week's stay for the oil and electricity. Be warned! kitchen is tired - broken drawers and doors. Had to wash all of the cutlery, plates and mugs before using. greasy oven tray left unwashed in the dishwasher. Did report this and told due to new management company. Oven needs replacing - 2 out of 5 hobs don't work and oven doesn't get to temperature. Owner was aware of the hob when I reported this. Internet was poor but not important to us. Owner will respond that if I reported other issues then she would have sorted but there are lots, and I am on holiday and Not my job. There are lots of other issues: 1 shower the thermostat is almost impossible to control and probably needs replacing. I would recommend the owner to stay in the house herself for a week and list the remaining minor issues and rectify them accordingly. It is a nice house.

Great family house

Great house for extended family holiday as the bedroom door bathrooms were plentiful and well situated for family units. Location was central for all we wanted to do around Northern Ireland and was a great base to relax and catch up with family knowing the kids were safe in the enclosed gardens. It was self check in but we hadn’t been told so wasted a little time getting in and needed the meter stuff explaining but the host was quick to respond once over that little hiccup and resolved any queries or concerns promptly.

Great accommodation for a family celebration

Plastic utensils for children was good. Self check in and self check out works very well. Enjoyed using gas cooker. The children said it was the best holiday they ever had. Loved the play park too.
