Kids Stuff at Home
There's plenty for the kids at our house. Please note that the pool area is not fenced off so is unsuitable for non swimmers
The basement has been converted into a games room with , table tennis, darts and table football so plenty to keep teenagers out of your hair! The pool table is right opposite the kitchen, please supervise young children with cues as the table is easily damaged. There are also games, lego, train track etc . Tennis court & badminton rackets, football and other beach toys.
If you have younger children you can rest easy as the house has stair gates, a cot and a travel cot, booster seat for mealtimes (feel free to take it to restaurants with you) and also a high chair. There's even a step in the bathroom in case they can't reach to brush teeth, kid size cutlery & plastic plates & cups.
