Very well equipped with all one would need in the kitchen (even an espresso machine, bread maker and a dishwasher). Lots of space to spread out for a family and to find their own nook. The rowing boat and kayak is the perfect cherry on the cake. We went down to the river mouth twice. Very relaxing!
