Great house

Everything was great however having a log burner only for heating, it would have been much easier if there was kindling provided. We had only 3 firelighters so a bit challenging.

Exceptional Experience

Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. The house is spacious, warm, comfortable and very well equipped. It was perfect for our 3 generations, including 2 children, 2 and 5. The many toys & books were a godsend on the one drizzly day - as was the amazing wood burner. We all had a fabulous holiday. Thank you!
