The house has been renovated to a high standard with all modern utilities but it still retains its original ambience and period style. The positioning of the house coupled with the old thick granite walls ensure, a pleasant temperature in the house all year round - even in the height of the summer.

The house originally housed the farm workers on the first floor with the larger farm animals sleeping below - when the house was a working-farm it was traditional for the workers to sleep above the animals for the additional warmth they brought.

The house is strictly non-smoking.
