Family get together
Good property and happy with the standards of cleanliness.
Unfortunately the BBQ wasn't working properly (a note had been left on the fridge). So we only found out on arrival which was a pain because we had planned to have a BBQ on Saturday.
This meant we had to use the oven. Again, this wasn't brilliant.
There were no serving utensils in the kitchen which was a right pain in the proverbial.
Not sure whether the steps of the deck at the front of the house are legal or safe. Very steep.

Great stay
Suited a three generations family very well - great space and location. The main living area is upstairs and not so easy for the very elderly. Great place and we really enjoyed our stay
