    home was well equipped however, we felt the downstairs bathroom was barely useable by adults because of the low ceilings etc,

    The house was great. Walking distance to the central village, lots of bedrooms and the games room in the garage was a welcome addition.

    10.0 / 10.0
    This property was ideal for our family get together spanning three generations. With so much room we were able to spread out and enjoy ourselves. We found the kitchen was extremely well equipped and the clear labelling made meal preparation a breeze. The pool and table tennis tables were a real hit as were the scooters and swings. We all had a great time and would love to come back some time.
    10.0 / 10.0
    Great for a large group or a few families. We loved the common dining and lounge. The spaces were all mostly well kept. The beds in the sleepout and basement are very much on the softer side. The bathroom in the basement was not clean and as mentioned on the listing, not suitable for adults. Overall Geoff was easy to communicate with and the property was perfect for the price and large group.
