Home truths
The twin beds can be made up as a double bed, and two of the double beds can be made up as twin beds upon prior request.
The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st May and 1st October, weather permitting. It isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times.
There is a neighbouring property here, but care has been taken so the house and garden still retain as much privacy as possible.

If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free.
