Thanks Patricia and we were thrilled to host you for your 5th consecutive stay! You are a superb guest and we are delighted that the cottage and Island have become regular features in your lives. Long may it continue. Looking forward to seeing you again next year! Abigail

Thanks so much! See you again we hope.

Thanks so much for your review!

Thanks so much for your review!

Hi Bev, so glad you had a great time! So sorry you didn’t find the outdoor seating. It’s all there in the cupboard under the stairs along with sun loungers and a folding table. It is written in the notes I sent to you .. but there’s a lot to read! Hope to see you again. Best wishes, Abigail

Hi Nathalie, I'm so happy that you had a good time, despite the weather. Thank you for your 5 star review. I'm extremely grateful. I'm very sorry about the Woodburner but I have had to ask people not to use it until it gets a proper service. Just for health and safety and short term letting licensing requirements. I hope you saw this on my details as I do want guests to be aware when they book. Hopefully we'll be up and running again very soon! But glad you mentioned to me that the house was warm enough and we do hope you come back and visit us soon! Best wishes, Abigail

Thanks so much for this gorgeous review! I’m so happy that you had a lovely time. And look forward to hosting you again!

Hi Kate, Thanks for your review. I'm so pleased you had a good time. I'm so sorry about the confusion regarding internet. I clearly state in the section regarding internet on my home away listing the following: 'I access internet by using my phone as a hot spot for my computer. There is no internet provider but this works well. The Post Office in Port Bannatyne has internet and great hot chocolate.'. I do hope we see you all back at Kildavannan in the future. Many thanks. Abigail

Hi Geoff, we are so sorry that you had such a dreadful time. It’s terribly shocking to us because looking over the last 27 feedbacks over the rental companies that promote us everyone says it’s an absolutely glorious house and gives us 5 stars. They love it and appreciate all the care we put into it.. I’m a super host apparently! 😁�😂� Much down to the care that Una takes of this beautiful house of mine. As per my personal correspondence with you as to your grievances. I’m still waiting with great anticipation for the videos. That will really help me see how to move forward. Again I’m so sorry for your distressing time. I understand you want to be compensated... I’m interested to see how you view other properties. Perhaps you’d like to email me on your personal email greed@ something ... Best, Abigail

Hello there, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay. We pride ourselves in the many amazing reviews from happy guests who return to what most people think is the most idyllic spot for a house on the island. It seems you didn’t read my email which I send to all guests giving them so much advice and things to do on this beautiful island. I have a photo of the welcome email sent and when it was sent if you’d like me to forward it to you? It’s so unfortunate about the bed. A sweet boy spilled his orange juice on it. Our guest has since confirmed. The laundry company replaced the mattress cover as soon as they received it from me. Sadly you were there before it was changed which was on the day you left. Yes we are so lucky to be in an area where there’s no artificial light. The stars are amazing. Glad your phone torch worked for the dogs. We did chat quite a bit during your stay. I wish you’d told me about the toilet rolls as I would have let you know where there are plenty more in the house. So sorry. We are replacing the lightbulb. Thanks so much for bringing that to our attention. It’s difficult to know these things unless guests tell us as obviously the cleaners work in the daytime. The radiator in the spare room was working well as you know. Convection sends the air upwards and heats the room. Cupboard or not makes no difference. I’m so sorry you felt it was cold. We did send someone up immediately to check everything as you know. And we have not in the last 10 years had anyone complain about being cold in there but obviously I’m so sorry that you did. At great expense I’ve replaced the cooker and upgraded so many things in the house. It’s my family home as you know and I treasure it and like to rent it to nice people. It’s a light airy kitchen with two windows so plenty of space for airflow when you are cooking with that beautiful sea breeze. We hope you are happy with the response but frankly I think complaining privately to me about not having a pizza stone is strange. If you’d read my email that I sent you would have seen all of the wonderful things we do provide at Kildavannan Schoolhouse. And a pizza stone isn’t on the list I’m afraid. I aim to make this special house available to lovely families at the lowest price possible. £170 per night for a house that sleeps 6/8. It is such a pleasure to be able to rent it and I’m always delighted with the reviews. However it’s clear my house is not for you. I do hope you find a place that suits your needs better next time. Thank you for your feedback. Best wishes.

Thanks for your review Verity. I’m so sorry about the blinds. A previous guest (just before you) managed to let their little ones play with them. Luckily we have them fixed now!! I take on board the starter pack although we don’t stock usually as people have their own preferences. I provide lovely deck chairs for outside that a recent guest has reviewed. I’m sorry you didn’t see these. They are there. Re the garden.. I understand there was a growth spurt and my gardener had recently been in to do a tidy up and will be in again. And thanks for that advice. I do hope you liked the house. We spent a lot of time painting every room and bathroom and refreshing it during lockdown for a better stay for our lovely guests. I’ve had such great reviews about it. And based on the other prices of houses on the island we do make sure we are in line with those, often more affordable. Many houses increased their prices to take advantage of staycation after lockdown. I only factored in the additional covid deep cleaning costs of my amazing cleaning company and didn’t add anything else on top as we want people to enjoy our beautiful property and not be financially penalised for the troubles we’ve had. I think that’s fair. Thank you for all your comments, I do find them really useful. Not being on the island myself it’s very handy to get your feedback, and we really hope to see your again!
