Stayed for 3 nights, 14 of us and there was more than enough space. Very spacious and in a quiet peaceful area and we especially loved the jacuzzi and how it overlooks the lovely landscape
Big house with great sized rooms and plenty space for our 15 adults and 5 children. Hot tub was great. Living space/bar area very roomy and open. The owners were very flexible with the Sunday checkout times which was nice of them. The kitchen is a professional kitchen (for the weekday BnB purpose I guess) so not quite the social space that you're used to in a more traditional house. One of the bedrooms does have a particularly un-private toilet in it, which may trouble some people. But overall, great house and stay.
