We had a good stay overall as the house is in a lovely position, with a great park nearby that we walked to each day, and lovely to be so near the water. The disappointment was that we couldn't use the downstairs level of the house because it was icy cold down there. We didn't sleep anyone down there or use it at all because it was too cold. A small heater was provided downstairs, but it was not enough to heat the space during winter. Thankfully we could fit everyone upstairs and still had a lovely time.
The inside spiral staircase is also not very safe as it is so narrow and adults have to duck their heads. There is a safety gate at the bottom of the stairs, but one would have been more appreciated at the top as it wasn't very safe for kids.
