Had such a wonderful time with the family, the kids really enjoyed the stay. The playground was such a great touch and made the mornings so special. It felt right at home.

The double mattres and pillows need to be changed. The house itself was really good but I didn't like the fact that for 3 days I had to keep the living room curtains closed because in the morning 15 to 20 cars pulled up outside the house with people going to some type of educational course work in the other house opposite. First day loads of kids and then two days of only men. Looking into my living room so that was not nice. When you arrive to a remote location you dont expect it to be full of people. Really put a dampener on the vacation. I was just happy it wasnt the summer, you couldn't have had breakfast in the very open garden with all the people coming and going.
