However, I don't think it is fair to advertise this property as a sleeps 6. There was 5 of us staying and 2 of us where children and there was not enough room.

As previously mentioned in another review the TV needs to be larger. Whilst you don't go on holiday to watch TV it is sometimes required. Loved the wildlife in the garden.
Debbie
