Had good weekend.
Positive: The location was fantastic, the bedrooms were modern and the kitchen is well equipped.
Negative: The furniture downstairs is quite outdated, we had to fix one of the chairs in the kitchen because one of the legs was so wobbly, so dangerous when we had a 3 year old with us. The Internet was really bad, I had to switch to my own. The beds were uncomfortable, mattresses weren't great so sleepless nights in most rooms. The house as a whole is beautiful but for downfalls of the above I don't think it was worth the money.

All of the comforts of home in a perfect location
Positive: The room sizes were perfect for a large group and all the bedrooms felt special so no one was compromised on space or comfort. Having an en suite/bathroom for each bedroom was an added bonus.
Negative: We planned a Sunday roast for 10 people but there aren’t enough large pans to cook large quantities of vegetables so we went out and bought a steamer from Lakeland. Also, the bowls we tiny- we made homemade soups and big pasta dishes for our large group, but the bowls we tiny and not even suitable for cereal in the morning - luckily the charity shop had a dinner service for sale. Small things which affected us (not greatly) and probably wouldn’t bother someone else. Neither of these things would put us off visiting again - we’d just bring a few extras with us - everything else was perfect.

قرب بحيرة وندرمير الجميلة
Positive: قربه من البحيرة عشر دقائق مشي تقريبا
وكذلك من السوبر ماركت 6 دقايق مشي
احدى غرف النوم كانت غرفة جميلة و واسعة جدا جدا في الدور العلوي
المطبخ كذلك واسع مع منطقة الطعام
غرفتي معيشة
وجود البيانو علامة فارقة
Negative: صعوبة فتح النوافذ

Unforgettable experience
Positive: The facility was spacious, exceptionally clean, and fully equipped—from the two living rooms and the kitchen to the bedrooms, which included four master suites and one additional room with a private external bathroom.
The location is outstanding too, walking distance to the main lake, groceries and restaurants.
I can't thing of something better
Negative: Nothing that I didn't like at all. But if there one thing to add to the perfect set up will the Shattaf (bidet shower)in the toilet
