There were six of us staying at this huge house in Stonea, near March and in fairness the positives fully outweigh the negatives.The positives....huge house, lovely kitchen with everything you could need.Plenty of parking, comfortable beds, lovely owners who made the trip very enjoyable.The negatives....heating was unpredictable, sometimes too hot, sometimes way too cold and heating in kitchen and dining area not working.Not enough seating in lounge area, main TV needs updating.No bins in bedrooms or bathrooms.But even so I would still recommend this house, especially if the minor issues were sorted.
