Well equipped property ideal for family
We are Mum, Dad, Son and Grandpa ranging in ages of 16 to 89. The stairs creak badly if anyone wants the bathroom at night so not good for light sleepers. If you sleep like a log you would be fine here. Beds were comfy and clean, Kitchen was well equipped and Lounge had lots of games, films and music to suit most tastes. Nice to see washing up liquid supplied, but you do need to take a few dishwasher tablets and loo rolls with you. Didn't use heating, but hob and shower were fine. I would recommend for a week away as lots of eating/take away places within a few miles.
