The kids had a wonderful time in the pool. The pool fence was a little concerning as one post had rusted off at ground level & the pool gate would sometimes be difficult to open. Although we were there primarily for the pinball machines, the yard could do with a good clean up & tree trimming for when the children wanted to play. There is a cubby house but it looked a little unsafe. Our host was very helpful as we messaged to let them know a door was not working, & they offered to come over& inspect. We told them not to worry as we could use the other entrance.

Fun, fun, fun

Obviously pinball machines were a massive hit....bringing out our inner child! So many board and card games that couldnt possibly get to play....needed another week. Very comfortable with lots of special extras. Lovely pool and area. Special access to enter house made it so easy....not worried about everyone having a key. Great communication with host prior to and during stay. Highly recommended!

An added BJ table for our casino friends....sorry, this doesn't come with the house!
