Aug 26, 2024 #### Excellent stay, we will return! We all had a lovely stay at Dongthrush. The house is wonderful and very well equipped so you can actually cook rather than have to eat out all the time. Great location close to the Spa and Restaurant. Only advice is, if you want to play tennis arrive early to grab a slot, all gone by 5pm on first day and can only check in at 4pm!! ##### S L G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Dec 3, 2024 #### A great weekend We hired Songthrush for a birthday weekend and to get all the family together. The space was perfect, there were enough bathrooms and bedrooms, then we had the open social space downstairs, so it all flowed well. The welcome preparations were carefully though out, with a fire being laid and lights and radio on to welcome us, which immediately made it feel homely. There was lots of equipment in the kitchen and all over the house. Torches provided and other touches such as small toiletries and tissues. The beds were comfortable and the place was warm. We did not venture far, which was the plan as we had some elderly in our party. The plan was to use the house and spend time together as a family. We played lots of games and had many laughs. Some used the pool and gym onsite and praised this. I found walking our dog around the estate in the evening very pleasant with the houses all twinkling on the lakes. I would certainly recommend this place.

The lodge was a lovely space with ample room for 9 of us. We'll sticked with tea, coffee, biscuits etc. Plenty to do on the estate including the heated outdoor pool which was great, particularly on days when the indoor pool was fully booked. We also did the mega sup board which was fun. Would definitely recommend and return. ##### Loretta Sheehan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen P.
