Thank you so much for you kind review Huss! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. Hope to have you back again soon.
We shared this house with two other families and it met our needs perfectly.
It is a short stroll to the Main Street and the house had everything we needed. It was well equipped with toys, games, trampoline, games tables, high chair, high quality bedding , heating, kitchen utensils, bbq…….the list goes on!
We were all very impressed with the house and highly recommend it

Thanks for the lovely review Melinda, so glad you enjoyed yourselves
Beds great, but overall interiors tired and old. Works well for couples or two families. Very conveniently situated, disappointing that the advertised games room was not available.

Adequate but better suited to a small number of people
This place advertised a play space with a pool table and table tennis table in a separate garage but the doors were locked and there was no key available to get into it. The trampoline was looking very tattered around the edges and uninviting. The outdoor seating area at the back overlooking the lawn had many spiderwebs.
It advertises for 13 people but the bedroom at the back has no window or ventilation and is quite stuffy; the bunk beds are very compact and uninviting.
The dishwasher is only half size and for a place that supposed to accommodate 13 people this is not really practical.
There are only 10 dining chairs so any more than 10 have to sit on bar stools.
The stairs were steep and the layout of the ground floor is a bit confusing. Would not recommend this place for for older people.
However, the house was clean and the location quiet and had a good front lawn enclosed by a gate so is good for young kids to play in. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils. Good size freezer and fridge.
Thanks for your lovely review, so glad you enjoyed your stay!

It was a fabulous place to stay but not enough bedrooms for us. Not sure if it was miscommunication on our behalf but only 4 bedrooms & we asked for a place with 6. We had to revise our stay but the beds were so comfortable as was all the furniture, clean & great facililities & games etc for the family

Hi Sherrill. Thanks for the 5 star review, as mentioned when we spoke on the phone after you vacated the property does have 6 bedrooms, you just needed to open the door off the kitchen bar area. Please do not hesitate to call if you ever have any queries or questions.
We stayed with a large group of 14.
The property catered very well to our needs. It was very clean.
It was an easy walk in to town for activities and the house was well stocked with books and toys for the children in our group.
The games shed is excellent and we made good use of it.
The managers were super accompanying of our need to change dates due to covid restrictions.
Some notes for future guests: the upstairs shower is bigger, but down stairs had better water pressure. The dish washer is very small, but these are the only 3 challenges we had with an otherwise excellent property.
