Spacious house for family gathering for special occasions. We had an excellent stay over Christmas with plenty of room for 9 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Incredible kitchen and open plan dining and sitting area well equipped. Particularly enjoyed the sitting room with wood burning fire with plenty of wood provided. Nice snug for children to watch tv. Experience couldn't have been better!
