What a lovely big house in a great location with everything you could need very clean and comfy beds great games rooms and a lake pubs and shops are a drive away but there is a hotel next door 9 of us had a comfortable stay there are only two tiny things I would say the travel cot needs a proper mattress there is just the base of the cot which isn’t comfortable and an air fryer would be a great addition to speed things up a bit at breakfast would definitely recommend
