The house was lovely - lots of room for our family to gather, play games, watch movies, and cook and eat meals. The very sophisticated electronics (dishwasher, showers, tv fittings) were impressive and fun to use. The massive garden, especially the deck and trampoline, were used a lot to enjoy sunny afternoons. Having three separate houses allowed for privacy for different members of the family and despite having 9 people, we *never* felt crowded in using the house - it has so much space. The owners have clearly put a lot of time into making this a wonderful gathering place (including lots of games!). We loved the charming town of Colyton, took the tram into Seaton, and have a wonderful afternoon exploring the Seaton wetlands. We loved our weekend getaway and will certainly try to return.
