A quirky house but suited our needs really well (3 families, lots of kids). Upstairs rooms best for kids as the stairs have very low head-room. Lots of off-street parking - we had 5 cars and 2 boats and all fitted inside the gate. Easy walk to beach and boat ramp. Nice big dining table seats 10+. Thanks very much. ##### Duncan S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [5 Star Hotels in Bollington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Bollington-Hotels.s50-0-d3000435226.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d1334-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Enchanted Forest Theme Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enchanted-Forest-Theme-Park-Hotels.0-l6090421-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Great Smoky Mountains National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Smoky-Mountains-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6025878-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Wedding Hotels in Kent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Kent-Wedding-Hotel.0-0-d6046219-tWeddingHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Borno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borno-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d6139511-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kumbağ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kumbag-Hotels.d3000472997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [3BD/3BA w/Electric Dock/Heated Pool; WINTER VACA; Gulf Access – BUDGET FRIENDLY!](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Gias-Villa-A-Home-FOR-Your-Entertainment-120nt-W5-Night-Min-Aug-Oct2020.h45408126.Hotel-Information) > > [Hostels Birmingham Selly Oak Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Selly-Oak-Station-Hostels.d6234587-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Constance Belle Mare Plage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belle-Mare-Hotels-Constance-Belle-Mare-Plage.h1350446.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near New Forest National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Forest-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6046242-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Rotterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotterdam-Hotels.d6035270.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Hayfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayfield-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6140077-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Cabin Rentals Northumberland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northumberland-Cabins.d6046225-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LON-All Airports) to Detroit, MI (DTT-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/dtt/london-to-detroit) > > [Flights from Williamtown (NTL) to Melbourne (MEL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ntl/mel/newcastle-to-melbourne) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Churchill (YYQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/yyz/yyq/toronto-to-churchill) > > [Flights from Baltimore (BWI) to Morrisville (RDU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bwi/rdu/baltimore-to-raleigh) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to South Glengarry (YCC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ycc/london-to-cornwall) ### Activities ### Packages > [London Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London.d178279.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [San Juan de Gaztelugatxe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Juan-De-Gaztelugatxe-Spain.d553248621563221814.Attraction) > > [Juneau Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Juneau.d1715.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Edinburgh Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh.d6069845.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Plympton Swimming Pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plympton-Swimming-Pool-Plymouth.d553248621532488710.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Monthey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monthey.dx6130304) ---
