We had 4 adults and 4 kids and it was two to a room with some having room to themselves. We did have one room locked up. We had whole house to ourselves with two kitchens and living spaces. Nice location, friendly staff, and came with 3 types of bread, croissants, butter and milk. Outdoor spa would have been nice but too cold in September! Would definitely come back.Great place to stay especially with kids and big groups! We had 4 adults and 4 kids and it was two to a room with some having room to themselves.
