Lovely large house ideal for our large family gathering. Great outdoor and indoor socialising spaces. Rooms were very spacious. Nice quiet area with lovely walks . Small drive to more amenities and things to entertain the Teens. Would highly recommend staying here. Good communications with the Host and easy access.
