We found it was great for a family since there is plenty of space and it was comfortable all round. To top it all off, when we asked about something, the team running the house responded to me in a very reasonable time. Overall a great place to stay and would highly recommend. There is very little to complain about but it would have been nice to have air conditioning at times. ##### Andrew S.
