The property is lovely - the home is perfect for a large group, even has an elevator, which is handy when the kitchen is on the top floor!
We had hoped to be able to check in a little early, and were willing to pay a fee to do so. We booked the space in May, and there was no one staying in the house the night before, so we thought it wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, the housekeepers were in the house until check-in time. We did sit by the pool and start our meeting there, which was fine, but having to call the day of, after 12 pm to find out if you can check in a little early is a bit of a pain.
All in all, we had a wonderful experience. Did not have body wash in 4 bathrooms, found a couple items of trash that had been overlooked, but in a house that big, it's understandable.
Would recommend that the housekeepers check the drawers, however. We did find 2 bowls of greasy popcorn with butter in the bottom of one of the bedside tables on the last day. No bugs, though :)
