We stayed for a school holiday getaway in Winter. House had plenty of room and able to accommodate our group. We had everything we needed to make our stay as easy as possible. The host was very easy to communicate with. Was a short drive into town.

Close enough, but far enough...
We had a great stay at this property. We were three families with children between the ages of 7 to 14. The property itself had more than enough space to accommodate us all. There were a few children that slept on the fold out sofa beds. The backyard is very big and and was good to sit out and enjoy the sunshine, as was the balcony off the dinning room. Communication with the owner was easy and responded in a timely manner. You can walk into town if needed, about 30mins, but far enough away as to not be caught in the traffic and (sometimes) searching for a car park. Cleaning could be a touch better, however, all in all a great stay and would recommend this place.

Great family home
Loved our stay here. Great big backyard and spaces for the children to play and adults to enjoy. It was clean and bright. Accurate listing and check in was efficient. Only downside was the table tennis table was broken but we still managed to enjoy a play on it. Thanks and would stay again if in the area!

Overall, great house in fantastic location. Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 littlies. Four large bedrooms meant all had their own area and littlies were able to sleep peacefully during the day.
