Family Easter holiday
We were a family group of 13 - age range 16 to 84. And we had 2 dogs with us. Property worked really well and was very comfortable with lots of space that worked for everyone. It was exactly as described, especially about the uneven floors, so the older family members had the bedroom downstairs & this worked really well. We really loved the outside space and took advantage of the sunny weather. Kitchen was well equipped & set up for a big group and we cooked several meals where all of us ate together.We also had no problem with finding parking. Would thoroughly recommend.

80th birthday celebration
Fabulous time had by all. 2 minor considerations. Didn’t feel the kitchen was as well equipped as expected- lack of bowls, garlic crusher etc. also stairs were quite tricky to negotiate so may well be worth mentioning
