We had the most wonderful stay at Gardegan! We were two families of four, and everything was exceptional. The house was beautiful and provided a welcome retreat during the unexpected May heatwave. The pool was impeccably maintained, spotlessly clean, and the perfect temperature—we could barely persuade the children to get out of it!The bedrooms were comfortable, and the newly renovated bathrooms were immaculate. The spacious kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the mezzanine playroom was a fantastic bonus, giving the children somewhere to play indoors during the hottest part of the day.The property is in a peaceful rural setting next to a wonderful vineyard, where one afternoon the owner gave us a warm welcome and arranged a fabulous picnic lunch overlooking the vines. Enjoying delicious food and local wine in such a beautiful setting was a real highlight of our trip.Elspeth was fantastic. She struck the perfect balance between being available and responsive without ever being intrusive. She organised a private chef for us one evening and arranged for wine from the neighbouring vineyard to be delivered on the day we arrived, both of which was much appreciated!We would return in a heartbeat!
