Family Holiday 5 nights
Inside of home: was lovely, clean, small and cosy. Advertised as sleeping 7 and photos showed bunks, which were not there so grandsons took turns sleeping on couch.
Outside: BBQ had to be cleaned before we could use it and gas bottle was empty. Lovely covered outside area but unfortunately all windows, swing seat and lighting area have lits of cobwebs which are not the nicest things to look at when spending time outside in summer

Easter holiday
The place is nice it's small we would probably get a bigger place next time with dining table or bigger lounge but only because of having the kids it was very cramped. Be perfect for a few adults only.
Was very warm and cozy plenty of blankets and pillows .
Only downside would be the mattress in the double bunk bed needs to be replaced it slumps into the middle so only one person can sleep in there and the shower water pressure is very low. Other then that nice place and thanks for having us.
