With the property being 2 cottages we were able to have a boys and a girls cottage each for sleeping but only using one for cooking and dining and one lounge was big enough for relaxing in plus we had hired a hot tub in a garden. The 2 cottage layout would also work for 2 families as there are 2 kitchens and lounges with enormous tv screens. Parking ok as we were able to squeeze 8 cars in the off road parking. Our group was 11 adults ##### GORDON B.
