Christmas with adult daughter
Great location, nice and quiet. Spacious house good size dining table. Relaxed pleasant Christmas. The vehicle access gate had a gap beneath and was not escape proof but enough bricks nearby to fix that. 10/10 for being able to back up to the door and unload/load car undercover. Bath was great. Lovely place
