It was a beautiful house well equipped with two dishwashers and two kettles a great touch as there were 8 adults and 6 children to cater for, A great way to celebrate Christmas with my children and grandchildren and make some long lasting memories. I would definitely recommend you to others and will visit you again in the future.PS: the Christmas tree and decorations were beautiful

Great place for friends or families to get together! Suitable and lovely. Layout is great for all. 3.5 bathrooms not 3 bathrooms. Worked out so well and who knew we do indeed need two dishwashers! Kitchen had loads of cooking and baking pans.
