If you want a noisy holiday, in an uncomfortable house with a difficult house, this is not the place for you. The location gave us pleasant walks to the beach, the lake and just around the streets.The house had a large living area where two families could spread out reading, playing games, watching tv or just enjoying a chat without feeling on top of each other.The kitchen was not only well equipped, but had lovely crockery and serving platters. The two indoor bathrooms, plus an external laundry with toilet and shower were plenty for us all, with the added bonus of an outdoor shower for washing off after the beach (with hot water mind you!)The host was super helpful in all their correspondence. There was an unforeseen plumbing issue during our stay that the host responded swiftly to, sending a plumber to discretely rectify the issue. Expectations of guests are clear and all instructions were reasonable and useful.The indoor fireplace was wonderful! Make sure you source firewood in winter as it was the only heating, but upstairs was not too cold, esp with sun streaming through windows during the day.The extra smaller living area upstairs gave bonus space for our large group. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms have been upgraded.I really hope we’ll go back before long!
