Max’s house is fabulous! We had 2 families and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house is warm, homely and light, with an amazing kitchen equipped with everything you could need. The beds were so comfortable, and both bathrooms have fantastic showers. The kids loved the huge selection of games and books, and the table tennis table in the garage was the icing on the cake! Helena, the host, was excellent to deal with and very accommodating when we booked last minute. Looking forward to coming back!

We had a wonderful stay at Max's House over Christmas. The beds were incredibly comfortable, everything we needed was on hand and super organised, and the well-equipped kitchen allowed us to cook up a huge feast on the big day. The Rocket coffee machine was very much appreciated too! Thanks so much to the hosts for opening their lovely holiday home to us.
