Ben Shea Smart Home

Clean, modern “funky” 😀

It took a wee while to get to grips with the high tech smart controls. Only there 3 nights and was just getting used to it by the time we left. So not that I didn’t like it, just a bit busy for the short time we were there

My elderly parents prefer room temperatures far warmer than I do. Using the smart home features I was able to set the temperature in their room at a level where they were completely comfortable, and still have the same experience myself. I enjoyed the smart home features, and got a lot of satisfaction from just turning on night mode. The whole house is an attractive comfortable generous space. There is a small quiet room with comfy seating that is off of the stairs to the first floor overlooking the back garden. My son enjoyed the opportunity it provided to get away from everyone and read a book in peace, quiet, and comfort. The location is a wonderful jumping off point to enjoy Speyside and the grocery store across the street was incredibly convenient. I regret that we hadn't planned a longer stay.

I never did figure out what I did that started music playing when I turned on the bathroom lights, but I was able to set the volume low enough to not disturb anyone. There appeared to be a length of handrail possibly missing on the interior turn of stairs from ground level to the first floor. I would have been much more comfortable if there was something there in case my parents needed the extra support, but it didn't cause any issues.

Very clean and tidy, perfect location. Maintained to a high standard.

The smart controls can be a bit frustrating as we could not turn the music off. I think if you were to stay again we would have sussed this out.

Lots of space for the family. Our teens enjoyed having their own room. Very close to lots of little towns and easy to get to all the attractions in the area.

Cleanliness and comfort .Very well appointed

Stairs just a wee bit of a challenge.
