- Ian (7/5): Good - The property was compact & suited our needs as an over night stop off. A small couch seating area with tea & coffee facilities were a welcome inclusion. The property was difficult to find as was towards the back of an estate & was attached to the hosts main house on a corner site-clearer instructions are required. Access to it was via 2 security gates with codes requested & substantial ramps! A photo of the outside of the property on booking.com & a name plate stating "Kileen Cottage" on the property itself would be helpful in locating it.
- Barbara (9/5): Superb -
- Paulp (9/5): Perfect for the purpose! - Convenient for access to local attractions. Bonus of access to Gowrie golf estate for morning run. Neat, clean and secure with a great little fire place for warmth. if i had to complain about anything it would be the hot water/shower which wasn't hot enough and didnt seem to last long enough for two showers - even with gas heater? Not a big issue though.
