A beautiful and spacious house in a great location. We were a party of 6 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space. The kitchen/dining/living space/playroom is amazing. Bedrooms are big and easily accommodated travel cots. The garden is lovely and very private. Would definitely recommend.
