Our weekend away was perfect in this well presented property. Everything we needed to entertain the adults and kids for the weekend. The location is perfect, just out of Margs but still close enough for a quick drive into the beaches, caves etc. Thanks for having us!
Great stay in a great location - one complaint would be the floors were not very clean and there was a lot of white dog hair everywhere. We would still recommend staying here though.
The house was great and easily accommodated 6 adults 3 kids. The outside yard and kids playground kept the kids entertained and was big enough that we didnt have to worry about them too much. The location to Witchcliffe was a short 10 minute drive with lovely quaint shops. Would definitely stay there again
Was perfect property is lovely and spacious inside and out. We had 5 adults and 2 children and 3 dogs......no complaints. We had a great weekend and made the most of the property. The old skol video game table was a highlight.
Will definitely stay again.
Nice home, however the cleanliness was average, kitchen was poorly equipped with cooking utensils.BBQ was dangerously faulty. besides that, that home is super spacious and has a nice feel.
My family and I (8 adults, 2 small children and a dog!) all had the absolute best stay at Skibo House. Everything was as pictured, in fact some pictures don’t do the property justice. We started each day by visiting a different beach - all within a short drive and ended most days in town which is also only a short drive away. The outdoor space was perfect for our 3 year old and 1 year old. Our dog also enjoyed the freedom to sniff and explore the fenced grounds. Thank you a wonderful stay!
Some minor issues, we could hardly get the tv, Netflix etc to work not even free to air.
It would have been nice to know we needed basics like salt, pepper oil
The light switch in the main bedroom didn’t stay on.
As I say minor things, the property was perfect for us as a family of 3 generations.
