Beautiful house on private estate with hot tub, nature and adventure.

It was a great pleasure hosting Ian and his party. They looked after the house and left everything neat and tidy. Always welcome.

When things don’t go quite right, what a difference it makes to have patient and helpful guests. Thank you!

This is a very odd review, given that The Coach House has hundreds of 5 star reviews (mostly on other platforms as we are quite new to VRBO) with no complaints at all about the water. This guest was perfectly happy when I visited during his stay; the subject of water only being raised after check out. The local authority carries out regular analyses of all private water supplies and I sent the guest the latest test results to reassure him that the water was perfectly safe. The guest continued to press until I ruled out any prospect of compensation which in turn led to this review, which is disingenuous. The water at Slogarie is sourced from a spring in the hills and sometimes picks up a slight colouration from the peaty ground that it runs through. It subsequently runs through multiple micro fibre and ultra violet filters; it is not treated with chlorine or any other additives. All local authorities in Scotland insist that property owners on private water supplies advise their guests to drink and clean their teeth with bottled or boiled water. For this reason, we advise guests of the situation in our Welcome Note and provide them with sufficient bottled water for their first day or two. With regard to this guest's review, it was noted that only about three litres, of the ten litres of bottled water provided, had been consumed. The guest's claim of dehydration, if true, was not from the lack of potable water. At Slogarie we are more than happy to discuss our water supply (which we are very proud of!) with potential guests and share any information as required.
