Marieke and John's house was a perfect place for two families to get together and spend the holidays. In addition to being a gorgeous, huge house, it was also immaculate. Marieke and John were very welcoming hosts. The rules of the house were very clear and very reasonable. We didn't explore the area too much, but we did take advantage of the very nice walking path toward Epping Forest and the giant Tesco nearby. Thanks so much for a great stay! We loved it!
