I booked Lindsay's house for my mum's 70th birthday weekend and it was the perfect space for this purpose. It is spacious, bright, clean and contained absolutely all the amenities we needed, so all we actually brought in the end was food. We were all impressed by the additional amenities that we didn't use, but would have if it were summer (BBQ) or we had more children with us (high chair, children's table outside on the deck, board games, colouring books etc).
The upstairs was easily accessible from the front entrance by wheelchair and there was a bathroom upstairs as well as downstairs which was important for us as we had two guests in wheelchairs who had intended to visit (but couldn't due to Covid restrictions). The upstairs being such a large, open-plan area also accommodates wheelchairs well. Our guests wouldn't have had to feel as though they were sitting in an entrance or pathway, which is sometimes the case in smaller homes.
There were plenty of spaces for people young and old to comfortably hang out without being on top of each other, and plenty of table areas in the common areas to sit food on. Those who stayed overnight (each of them over 70 years of age) reported that they had a comfortable sleep and were warm overnight.
Lindsay was very accommodating to our group. He kindly offered us a one night booking, and responded very promptly to all messages. On the day we checked in, we spoke on the phone and via text when we left. He was very easy to communicate with at all times.
I wouldn't hesitate to book Lindsay's house again for family events. It is the perfect space to host such events and would be even more incredible in summertime with it's proximity to the beach and playground. A wonderful weekend enjoyed by all.
