Exceptional stay at an unbelievable property

We had a large group of friends staying at Iona Park for a reunion and we were all absolutely blown away. From the moment you arrive, the facilities are jaw dropping. Both the inside, especially the pool room and library, and outside (double tennis court!) were stunning. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty big enough to accommodate all of us. The check-in process was very smooth and the hosts were a pleasure to deal with. I can’t recommend this stay highly enough!

Great house but needs tender loving care

Whilst Iona House is a nice home and we have enjoyed our stay it requires some serious attention and maintenance i.e. stove oven seal is broken. Dial to timer is not working so just start the oven is difficult.Instruction of use is required for the coffee machine. It required descaling before it could be used. This should have been carried out prior to our use.PowerPoints top left bathroom not working Billiard room half the cues are either broken or tips missing No Number marbles for Kelly pool Tennis court needs maintenance Most of the wallhangings that help give character to the house are missing Sink in main bedroom is blocked The handrail in the main bathroom has fallen off Ducted heating is hard to regulate for all the rooms
