This house is an absolute GEM!
During this global pandemic our family of 5 desperately needed an escape from our place in the form of a nearby getaway. I am so thrilled that we stumbled upon this booking and had the opportunity to soak in all of the thoughtful amenities it offers.
This house can best be described as a combination of luxury meets comfort. From the moment you drive up you are greeted with a beautifully built facade only to be outdone by the industrial size trampoline that sits in the front garden. Trust me that whether it be used by kids or kids at heart...this is certain to bring laughter to your time spent here.
As you enter the house you are given plenty of space in the foyer to remove shoes, hang coats & generally unpack, which I very much appreciated with 3 little ones. The kitchen and living room flow seamlessly for those cooking and still wanting to chat with family/friends. First thing that is noticeable when you turn the corner into this area are the walls of windows and flood of light...gorgeous yet still felt private. I found the items in the kitchen easily accessible and countertops & appliances simple to clean. They have definitely allowed for abundant seating in this space with an extremely long kitchen table (8 chairs and room for more) and 4 additional barstools at the counter top.
Nearby couch is a lovely deep and soft fabric sectional with 2 comfy chairs added. Plenty of seating for all to enjoy movies on the screen that drops from the ceiling and plays movies from the projector. Such a cool feature we wouldn't normally experience outside of a movie theater. We connected to Netflix and Prime Video during our stay with help from detailed instructions printed and set out for us along with a bottle of wine (Thanks!). The area off the living room has a lovely pool (weather didn't allow for us to use), a barbecue with option to dine outside and just around the other side of the house the most gorgeous tree with low trunks that seem to hug the house. We took advantage of its amazingness and did a photo shoot!
The 6 bedrooms, 2 downstairs and 4 upstairs, were all such a great size for each of our family members. Seems as though we may have children of similar ages as the decor and toys fit each perfectly. Minimalistic design and natural palette made the rooms feel very warm and inviting. Of all the places we have stayed, this master shower will likely always be one of my favorite home features. Not sure if it was the black rock bottom, overhead rain shower, beautiful view or the very cool handle design but walking inside felt like an escape.
Paul and Lilie really allow you to feel like this is your home away from home.
You will not regret booking this house and if I had to bet...like us, you would consider a repeat booking.
