Suitable for a family and a larger group. ##### Anna-Lotta This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma 13 Aug 2025 #### Emma Williams Lovely house, in a very peaceful location in walking distance of some great restaurants (Pashmina is a must!) and the local golf club. Having our own space and pool was fabulous, house had all the amenities we needed, so many bathrooms for everyone, and checkin was really well explained by Katherine. We had one small issue with a blocked drain which was resolved the same day by the company, so we couldn’t ask for a better response. The house was just as described and a fabulous place to stay. Thanks for the great communication and support during our stay. Highly recommend staying here and hopefully we’ll be back one day soon. ##### Emma This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh 9 Sept 2024 #### Leigh's review We enjoyed a great family holiday in ‘The Gaff’. The villa was spacious, the pool was the perfect place to cool down, and the tennis court added a little bit of competition between our boys (the net was just a little tired). We had a couple of minor issues which didn’t negatively affect our experience, but they were quickly dealt with by their maintenance team anyway. Overall, a great space for our family with plenty of spare rooms! ##### Leigh This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh 9 Sept 2024 #### Leigh Howard We enjoyed a great family holiday in ‘The Gaff’.
