I would highly recommend this house for a stay. We go every year for a week. There are 2 families and with 6 great sized bedrooms it’s perfect. There is lots of extra space with great living room and dining room and also a well equipped kitchen.

We keep coming back to The Shelter Stone every year with our group of friends (7 adults, 6 kids). It’s large, well equipped, clean, comfortable and ideally located.
