Fantastic for kids
When the 10 of us arrived wanting to use the bathroom we found NO toilet paper in one and quarter of a roll in the 2nd toilet. When we went to cook pasta for dinner there was only one large pot. The complimentary hand sanitiser gift with a hair clip and cork from a wine bottle was weird. However a great place for kids to stay large pot.
