Ellengowan is a stately old home, excellent for a large group stay with active adults. It has beautiful sprawling grounds and abundant accommodation for a large group that can spread out and be comfortable.
It proved a wonderful retreat after exploring during the days.
The only criticism (and this is nit picking) is that the house had obviously been locked up for some time and had a very stale, mouldy smell for the first day until it was properly aired out (NB the main bedroom ensuite does need a proper clean out to eliminate the mould in there).
Also the washing machine and dishwasher need a maintenance as neither was washing properly.
And the stove top needs a proper commercial clean (we did clean it as well as we could when we arrived (and when we left), but it has ingrained stains.
