We managed to get most of the cars parked outside the property which was great, alternative parking was quite close. Just to confirm all bedrooms had a toilet and sinks but not all had showers, however there was a bathroom on each floor. Very well equipped and comfortable for 13 people to stay. Really worked well for a group booking.

We enjoyed our holidays.

The house was a great size for our big family, the bathrooms in l bedrooms were really handy and the house has everything you need. We were slightly worried about parking but it wasn't an issue. You can fit two cars at the house and then we parked the others a few roads away.
