The hosts are commended for their great communication and welcoming nature.

Reviewers consistently mention the property being immaculately clean and very well maintained, indicating top marks for cleanliness.

The property is described as peaceful and quiet, with easy access to local amenities and nature walks. However, one review mentioned the need for a car due to its rural setting, slightly impacting the score.

Guests find the beds very comfortable and the overall stay relaxing. A few minor comments about the bathroom lights and sofa positioning slightly affect the score.

The Roondie is well-equipped with a wood burner, Netflix, Amazon, and a dishwasher. Some guests had issues with the heating, hot water, and a small TV, which slightly lowers the score.

Many guests mention special touches that made their stay enjoyable. Although a welcome basket was missed by one guest, it's important to note that such gifts are lovely surprises but not guaranteed.
