"Amazing house, perfect for our family reunion. Everyone found a space that worked for them, especially the oldest couple who used the first floor bedroom with en suite bathroom. The kitchen was great (we just used the 1st floor kitchen, didn’t really need the second one). The little kids loved the arcade. And all the passageways."
