As others have said itâs quite small so best suited to a family rather than 4 adults but it included everything we needed. There were 4 dogs from one of the properties using the communal area out the front while we were there which made it a bit tricky for us to have the door open with our dog, which we would have liked in the hot weather, but apart from that we had a great stay.
