Both the views and the house itself are quite stunning. It would be great for kids, we had all adults but the boys still found the nerf guns and had a great time fighting a nerf war. The only issue we had was with the Wifi which was very slow and made it difficult to use the smart TV. Other than that there was alot of lovely touches like the bottle of wine that was left for us and the lovely soaps and shampoos. Would definitely recommend enjoying a stay at this beautiful location. ##### Steph C.
