The host was very welcoming and the house met all our needs and more , with additional extras that we maybe had forgotten these were all provided. It was great to also have a welcoming package as we had forgotten milk. The house itself was spotless and fresh, we had two young children with us, which the host provided a travel cot and highly chair which was so good not to have bring them ourselves. The house had a Christmas tree in the reception lounge and also in the entrance to the house which we really appreciated with the kids. The house was warm and we had access to all the amenities. Over all we had an amazing time and Christmas with the family. Would definitely recommend it to everyone.
