Just back from an extremely pleasant and relaxing few days with our children, their respective partners, a very young grandchild and our niece. Kestrel provided an ideal venue for this extended family get-together. Once you negotiate the steep drive and then the stairs up past the spacious bedrooms you emerge into the large, open, light-filled upper living and kitchen areas. Warmly and pleasantly decorated, superb views out over the lake, multiple comfortable couches to relax on, a wonderfully equipped kitchen and all surrounded by spacious outside sitting and eating/bbq deck areas. Kestrel has the feel of a lived-in and used family holiday home, thoughtfully and stylishly decorated and furnished. It was an inviting and easy place to spend a fun and relaxed few days. Our only comment is we were surprised at the absence of a few what we think of as basic household items such as soap for the showers, washing powder, limited detergent, alfoil and glad wrap. In an otherwise so well equipped and supplied house we did wonder if maybe the cleaner had failed to let the owner know that supplies of these items had run down/out. Otherwise though, highly recommend if you are planning a group holiday.
