Magnificent family holiday home.

Wonderful house with lots of amenities. Well-stocked kitchen, pans, kitchen tools, cutlery, crockery and glasses. Some nice extras e.g. hand wash in all of the bathrooms and dishwasher and washing machine tablets. Loved the hard work that had been put in to make this house special and unforgetable.
