We fit two families of four into the house and had loads of room. The little ones spent hours in the back yard on the swing, climbing the ropes and getting lost in their imagination in the garden. The bookshelf full of children's books was appreciated. The cafe up the road is divine! The kitchen was very well stocked (but no toaster?) and there were different seating areas so everyone had their own space. The fire was lovely in winter, so we toasted marshmallows :)
