This was a return visit to a cottage in a lovely rural location at a reasonable price.. The dog loved the great outdoor space and we enjoyed all the wonderful local walks. The cottage is renovated to a high standard and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are very likely to return again in the future

Beautifully restored property on this large country estate.. On arrival the house was spotlessly clean and warm. Tea, coffe, milk and biscuits were left in the kitchen too to welcome us. The kitchen and bathrooms are luxuriously high spec and the rooms are large, particularly the kitchen space, with beautiful wooden floors and underfloor heated tiles. However the lounge area is tiny and the uncomfortable sofa would not seat 6 people, despite the property sleeping 6. Sadly the cutlery, crockery and bedding is all very cheap too, diminishing the luxurious feel of the property. Baloo is part of the original stable block adjacent to the large house which is being restored and transformed into a luxury hotel. Of course this means that there is work going on and some areas are effectively a building site, which may be off putting to some. However, noise is kept to a minimum and the friendly, helpful staff leave you alone to enjoy your stay. Overall, a lovely property which could, with some slight tweaking be an outstanding holiday property.

You did not inform the owner of my arrival.. So when I telephoned to say I was on my way. The owner had been told I was not booking so was unitially thrown off guard when I said I was about 45 minutes away. That was an arrival around 6pm. The property is available from 3pm. This is Skyes fault not ofcourse the Owners of Balloo. However the property was made ready but I imagine they had a rush due to being incorrectly informed by yourselves. Out of 3 staff at Skyes two where very helpful but a third member of staff repeatidly telephoned myself after an initial enquiry and was quite pushy which almost caused myself to not book. I however wished to stay at Balloo so did book. But with a different member of staff who was helpful friendly and not pushy! It makes a big difference.. Sincerely Jane Deborah Burke.

Cottage was a new listing but was immaculate.. The grounds were very picturesque and a great setting. Still a bit of work going on at the main hall / house and some of the ground but would definitely book again to go there if we go back to that area.

This is a lovely cottage.. It could benefit from some personal touches (pictures on the walls and bedside tables) but otherwise we really enjoyed our five day break. We will be back..definitely. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay including posting items we left in the cottage.
