Weekend wedding
The house was in a good location, although no street parking on the road. Not the best house for 9 adults, but it was okay for what we required, also we were able to book for the days we needed. We had a couple of problems that were actioned promptley. The driveway is not ideal for 4 cars due to it's length, we did a lot of car moving!
