This is a great house for big groups with kids. Lots of rooms, all ensuite. We had a big group of adults and kids and it was perfect for us. Carmel is a great host. The house was packed with food and treats when we arrived! She was very responsive and very helpful. She lives next door but is in no way intrusive. The extra apartment is annexed to the main house and is great for extra space if needed. It is a bit out from the town but that didn't bother us. The kitchen is a little small for a big group - perfectly workable with all amenities but tight for a big group.
