    “A great house to spend Christmas with extended family.”

    Comfortable & plenty of space; well located; nice touches with Christmas decorations etc. However the house was very cold when we arrived: we managed to fix this over the first day, but the radiator in 1 bedroom (Lighthouse) didn’t work at all & the room was freezing cold - not great for children sleeping in there. Recommend this is fixed before your next visitors.
