    We spend our own summers here

    We bought the first house because we wanted a place where three generations could be together without being on top of each other. That is still the measure: is there room for everyone at the table, is the pool warm in March, does the pram fit through the door.

    Write to us before you book. We answer ourselves — and we will tell you honestly if the house is not right for you.
