Really enjoyed our stay, so much so we wish we'd booked a third night! The renovation has been beautifully done, everything is really well thought out. Kitchen is well equipped and the pool table was a lovely touch, especially as it's not in a separate room so everyone can spend time together. We were seven adults and three kids, and there was plenty of room, no queues for bathrooms etc. I'm planning a trip back with my family, I enjoyed it so much.

A good place to stay with extended family. Plenty of space to be together but also plenty to be apart as well. The pool table was an added bonus. Thank you for a good weekend.
