We had a fantastic long weekend at Burnfoot, 6 adults, 8 young people (aged 3-16) and 2 dogs. Loads of space for everyone, outdoor spaces were fantastic, we had a log fire in garden and made s'more's knowing dogs and younger kids were safe within the space. The local area is beautiful and has loads of walks and trails. The house is well equipped and has enough space for everyone to take time out if they wanted some quiet time.
