This is the perfect getaway from everyday life. We have 3 girls aged 15, 12 and 9 and brought our dogs. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The house was neat and tidy but no so much that you were worried about the kids or the dogs making a mess. A relaxing homely feel. Even on wet days we lit the fire, read and played games. Having use of the boat was great and fulfilled all of my 9 year old’s Famous Five dreams!!!!
