Great holiday for all the family, needs a little attention on the patio, some slates moving so a bit dangerous with small kiddies. It’s hard getting out for ten o’clock with five children and cleaning to do. Everyone had the best time and we would definitely go again. Had to go quite a way to recharge the car. Thank you
