This was the best home that we have stayed over the summer holidays. Not only was it within walking distance to the water park, it was a superb facility for a large family reunion. The game pavilion was an added bonus. It provided an excellent venue for games, dance party, and family eating. The decor of the restored home was exquisite. So much so, that ideas were remembered for use in our own homes. The amenities were excellent. Chip and salsa awaited us when we arrived in addition to a fine vintage wine. All aspects of the stay were very impressive.
