Avis Beautiful spacious house and sun-porch in large mature gardens facing South

Thank you very much, Nancy. I'm delighted that you enjoyed it so much!

Dear Valerie, I am very happy that you said the location is fabulous and the garden is a joy! Thank you. We did have some problems with your stay as you know. I hope we were never defensive! I really have no record of that at all! But you did not read instructions well. You said you had difficulty finding the house. No-one else has in twenty years - it is right on Chapel Brae and overlooks the Games Park. It is very easy to find. Worse, you did not read the instructions about the washing machine and tried to break it by forcing the lid shut without closing the inner drum and then called out our manager because it was making a grunching sound. It was. That was because you did not read the instructions on the machine and which I sent you separately. You tried to force the lid to shut without shutting the stainless steel drum, and switched it on.! This nearly broke it!. I'm glad you like the extensive collection of CDs and high quality HiFi. Similarly there are lots of books, but we can't cater for everyone's taste and many people reading modern books choose to read them on KIndles and similar. Similarly there is no point in keeping contemporary popular music CDs because most people listen to that music online or on their devices..Thank you for letting me know about the grouting on the shower. I'm not sure what you mean about the mattress because we renewed it only two years ago. We shall keep providing herbs and spices as a courtesy and we shall keep filling up our glass bottles!. We really don't see curry powder that is one year old (2022 !) as a problem as you do and we thank our guests who were nice enough to leave it for others! Curry powder lasts at its best for three to four years., if you check. The tap and basin unit in the upstairs bathroom are modern units and the tap design is just modern and feels a bit stiff. I used it myself recently and it's absolutely fine so long as you are not expecting an old-fashioned tap! There is a second satellite TV point in the lounge, but most people like to have a separate TV room as we have and a quiet lounge at the other end of the house. That is one of the great joys of Sunnybrae - there is a beautiful garden, lots of light, a well-equipped kitchen, and lots of space so that family groups can be together when they want, and also be in separate groups at other times.

Thank you Mary - and Walter! I'm delighted that you all enjoyed it!

Dear Bart, Thank you very much! I'm very happy that you enjoyed Sunnybrae so much. You'll be very welcome to come back any time.

Thank you very much for this lovely review! I'm delighted that you had a good time. I think I just need to explain that the mattress in the king size bed is nearly new - it is just 12 months old! We choose mattresses for good back support, and it is simply difficult to choose a mattress that suits everyone. So if you found it a little firm, that is because we have to cater for people of different sizes and weights and so choose mattresses that are firm rather than too soft. I hope that explains the bed detail and I am very glad that you had a wonderful time!

Thank you very much for this excellent review! I'm delighted that you enjoyed it and loved the gardens. I think I need to explain that the mattresses are all recent - some only twelve months old. We choose mattresses for back support and it is simply difficult to choose a mattress that suits everyone. So if you found any a little firm, that is because we have to cater for people of different sizes and especially weights. So we choose mattresses that are firm rather than too soft. I hope that answers this point and I am very glad that you had a wonderful time!

It was a real pleasure having you stay and corresponding with you! Thanks very much for letting me know about the flickering bulb in the kitchen - I'll get that replaced. Thanks also for putting me in touch with your artist friend. We are going to see her next week! Best wishes and you'll be very welcome to return any time.
