We had a lovely family weekend in Forestside House. It was very clean and well located. It sleeps 16 but the dining and seating accommodation does not cater for 16. We were 10 and could eat together but not sit and relax together. The dining table and a couple of chairs were not very stable. One of the oven doors was broken and a couple of cooker rings were not working. This made cooking for a large number challenging. We are unlikely to stay here again.

Good: Property is at it appears on the photos/video - a beautiful, comfortable house. Beds comfortable and bedrooms clean. Lots of books and outdoor play equipment to keep the children amused which were very welcome. Bad: The worst thing was arriving at 4pm on Saturday to an extremely cold house which took over 12 hours to heat up - no-one slept well the first night. Once the house did heat up then the heating just carried on heating the house. There are thermostatic valves on the radiators but no master thermostat to switch off the boiler (which we could not find) once a decent temperature was reached. It cost me £300 for a week's stay for the oil and electricity. Be warned! kitchen is tired - broken drawers and doors. Had to wash all of the cutlery, plates and mugs before using. greasy oven tray left unwashed in the dishwasher. Did report this and told due to new management company. Oven needs replacing - 2 out of 5 hobs don't work and oven doesn't get to temperature. Owner was aware of the hob when I reported this. Internet was poor but not important to us. Owner will respond that if I reported other issues then she would have sorted but there are lots, and I am on holiday and Not my job. There are lots of other issues: 1 shower the thermostat is almost impossible to control and probably needs replacing. I would recommend the owner to stay in the house herself for a week and list the remaining minor issues and rectify them accordingly. It is a nice house.

Great family house

Great family house

Great house for extended family holiday as the bedroom door bathrooms were plentiful and well situated for family units. Location was central for all we wanted to do around Northern Ireland and was a great base to relax and catch up with family knowing the kids were safe in the enclosed gardens. It was self check in but we hadn’t been told so wasted a little time getting in and needed the meter stuff explaining but the host was quick to respond once over that little hiccup and resolved any queries or concerns promptly.

Great accommodation for a family celebration

Great accommodation for a family celebration

Plastic utensils for children was good. Self check in and self check out works very well. Enjoyed using gas cooker. The children said it was the best holiday they ever had. Loved the play park too.

An amazing house with everything you’d need

An amazing house with everything you’d need

We rented this house for a long weekend to host a Large family BBQ to celebrate our recent wedding. It was brilliant! The house had everything we needed in it and plenty of bedrooms for guests to stay over if they wanted to. The whole process from booking to checking out was so easy and Lisa was a dream to deal with - quick replies and nothing was too much bother. The garden was great and plenty of room for kids and our dog to run around and play in. There was plenty to do near by as well so people could go off on day trips and entertain themselves. Would definitely recommend and already looking forward to booking it again!

Modern and clean but does have the basic standard services

Modern and clean but does have the basic standard services

The house is well located, spotless clean, and modern. It's a perfect stay for large groups and the Homeaway agents are very efficient and quick to reply. However, no towels nor shower gel were provided (you need to hire some or bring your own), which is no longer the custom in this kind of industry nowadays. The house was really cold when we came in which doesn't seen very welcoming, especially in mid-january. You also need to pay extra for the gas and electricity, so the price is not all included when you book it. Some quality kitchen appliance and cooking utensil would have been appreciated as well but overall, the stay was fine.

Brilliant house

Brilliant house

Spent a long weekend here with my fiancé's family. We all loved how big the place was. We have a boy (6) and girl (10) who enjoyed free roam of the garden with their cousins. Adults cracked out the BBQ when the sun showed it's face. The kitchen had everything I needed to take over the cooking with mum. Would recommend this for any get together, pictures just don't do this place justice. Went out and about to Central bar as recommended by one of the owners Adam who checked us in and out. Great customer service from the offset. We noticed a lack of chairs outside and the day after Adam came back with some new ones specifically. Couldn't find anthing bad about the place. Whole house was spotless. Dining room was great for a distraction-ffree sit down meal with all of us. You'll need a car to get to the local town. We took lots of our own food, but just down the road was a Spar with everthing we could have asked for. In all, loved it. Reasonably priced. Well maintained property that is professionally run.
