Although there were 10 of us, there was plenty of room for all of us including a very energetic 7 year old.The house had everything we needed including a hot tub which was enjoyed by everyone. It was great to be able to sit comfortably around a table as a family in and an conditioned dining room.We loved the large enclosed garden for games.The only regular comment came regarding the size of the towels which could have been larger.I would love to know where you bought the bed linen....it was fabulous. A comment from the 15 year old was that he enjoyed the best sleep ever.
