We all fitted in and had beds in a mix and match way. Excellent location. Now planning our next trip down here as house was perfect for this aged children.
Plenty of space for a short stay. Just as the listing described. The lounges were particularly comfortable. We had a couple of nice evenings on the deck.
Batch, bunk style beds very comfortable. Walk to excellent pub the stumble Inn. Food and service top notch. Riverside walk with the dog off leash 2 mins down the hill. Well equipped kitchen and sunny deck. Perfect met all our needs.
Plenty of space for everyone! 3 bathrooms and 3 toilets and 2 fridges. Heating could be better but the afternoon sun is great and lots of bedding provided. We'll stay again.
The property is spacious and suits a larger group of people. This is an older style property but suited our needs. The property could do with some redecorating and maybe some new lounge furniture.
A comfortable stay for 4 nights with 2 x adults, 2 x teenagers and young child. House was big so we weren't all crammed into one room and could sprawl out. Teenagers appreciated the internet connecion, booka & well equipped kitchen! Thank you!
Heaps of room. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Great to have three showers and three loos. Heaps of room. Very handy location. Very comfortable. Thanks.
The property was very convenient for a large family group of three couples and 6 children ranging in age from 2 to 10. Plenty of beds and space for the children to interact .Well equipped kitchen ,plenty of seating , three showers and three toilets.The house wasxeasy to find and only a quick walk from a supermarket pharmacy cafe and fuel stop.Hosts responded promptly to a request for information and were very accommodating .
While a lousy reason to get together, a gathering was necessary. We had 12 people sleeping one night and 10 the second all having to get through ablutions to get to the service and the amount of facilities made this a breeze. Great space to sit a reflect with family coming together to eat both nights. Excellent kitchen and bbq. Contact made over the phone before arrival, all beds made, ready to collapse into after a long drive to get there. So easy. Thank you so much.
Very large house, well-equipped kitchen—great for families. Great location, close to shops. Short drive to city centre. Host was very helpful & accommodating.
There was much more provided that we needed. The beds were comfortable with good quality linen. Good water pressure in the showers.peaceful location handy to everything. Recommend you have a meal at The Stumble Inn
The location of this property was great for access to the city, the gardens on offer and amenities. We were a group of six ladies, the property was very basic but very clean and tidy and worked perfectly for us. We struggled with the lock on the ranch slider which needs some attention as not sure how secure it is, but we got used to it. Thanks for a great stay.
My family & I had a great stay here. Enjoyed being able to stay together, probably could do with a little upgrade in some areas of the house has it’s a bit tired but all in all we liked it. Huge section, great having 3 showers & 3 toilets, plenty of beds, good kitchen and the balcony was fab and most of all it was central. Thanks again we will be back one day soon. 😊
