There was plenty of room. The pool and games room were well used by all. We used Sarah from Food for Thought as a caterer for the Saturday night and the meal was wonderful everyone was very happy.

We had a fabulous time. Swimming pool was a major hit with all the family. The house and facilities are extremely good and very well maintained. Thank you.
