    Plumbing en suite in 1st bedroom was horrendous you had to remove the top of the cistern to flush the toilet. 2nd en-suite trickle of water from shower & several attempts to flush toilet. Main bathroom shower again trickle of water. Cooker, oven & grill not clean. Xmas tree still up in February. No signal for any of the TVs. Outside property bins everywhere. Having to pay £250 security deposit when plumbing in house not up to standard.

    We didn’t get in it. The owner was unreachable so we had to book an Air B&B all at extra cost. Nothing nearby available on Booking.com but the same property was available on Air B&B. No phone numbers worked , no response from the e mail we sent so we had to frantically find new accomadation which was an hour away and we were racing in the morning. Not the best build up when we should have been getting relaxed and ready.

    Absolutely nothing

    There is a £150 cleaning charge, the floors were dirty and i cleaned them myself. The extractor fan in our on suite was permanently on which kept us awake and the sink was dangerous to get to. The top of the dishwasher was missing. There was an overwhelming smell of damp through out the property. There was a hole in another en suite ceiling with tissue stuffed into it. For the price of it I am really dissatisfied, I did message the property but no response. The games room downstairs stunk and could not go in there. I would not stay here again. They also have the cheek to charge a 250 holding fee on top

    The cleaning wasn't great, the oven and the grill were dirty. We reported this to the owners so hopefully it will be better for the next guests.

    The house had lovely communal spaces so we were able to sit together comfortably. Drymen was a lovely village with a shop, bakery, breakfast place and 2 great pubs. It was a short drive to Loch Lomand with beautiful walks and things to see. I would definitely recommend.

    Stayed for nearly 4 weeks whilst on a course in the area. The house is spotless, very homely and in a great location. There was a small issue with the washing machine, which I contacted the owner who was very helpful and friendly and it was fixed the next day. Would recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area.

    Showerhead flew off in one of the ensuites, no wardrobe in the twin room and mirror was on the floor. Mould in the upper bedroom ensuite shower room. Decoration could do with a refresh.....

    House was lovely and the location was great for our needs. Furnished to a good standard!! Had everything we needed and very clean..

    Internet was slower than we are used to but didn't affect our stay (parents), but the children struggled. The downstairs shower in the ensuite didn't work, and there was a bit of a whiff in the shared bathroom downstairs. However, both were clean. It's probably a minor plumbing issue behind both.

    Great location. It's very handy for eateries and groceries. Comfortable beds. Nice clean towels and bedding and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen was adequate for our needs. We ate out a lot but would have managed to cook and prepare meals there without issue. Nice and warm. Perfect for our family of 5. Space for everyone to have their own bit of space.

    had trouble with the digital TV, and tumble dryer doesn't work. The fridge froze everything by the last day, no thermostat control to be found. Maybe could have had more information on appliances and surrounding location

    the standard of finish was very good and a good size property to stay in.

    Toilet didn't work. Shower didn't work. TV poor. Wash basin couldn't empty. Entire flat not serviced. No clean bedding or towels.Owners response on our complaint on used bed linen and soiled towels and dirty flat was - I don't know what to do. !!! Threat of legal action delivered clean bedding which we then made up the beds ourselves. On top of it all the owner demanded 250pounds deposit in addition to the full rental paid that day as we were standing outside the flat and would not release the key until the deposit sum was paid. I expect Booking.com to intercede to ensure that my deposit sum is repaid forthwith William Clark

    Furnishings and kitchen excellent

    The kitchen could use some more equipment, like more pans for cooking

    Great home, plenty of room. Having 3 showers is really useful. The Drymen Inn is Android the street. Ideal starting point for trips on the region.
