The outside views were amazing! Had lovely company to enjoy it all. ##### Sabiha K. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura D. 24 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy A beautiful house perfect for a group gathering. Kitchen is well stocked and has everything we needed for big group meals. The projector in the lounge was fun for movies. If you want to watch TV there is a smaller room with one, but can only fit 5-6 ppl.Beds were all comfortable and rooms were spacious. Once warmed up the house was toasty! Wood burners were also available. There was a wood store outside but maybe order some kindling to avoid having to chop your own!Parking is for 2-3 cars.There were enough bathrooms for everyone to get ready in the mornings.All in all a great house. ##### Laura D.
