Enter into your home-away-from-home and unwind in the spacious living room while the TV plays and the woodburning fire crackles, creating a homely ambience; let the designated chef find the kitchen which is well-appointed with a range of appliance to whip up tasty meals for the whole group. These can then be enjoyed in the dining room, where you can catch up on the day's adventures; this floor is completed by a shower room.

    Lots of room to dry our damp coats and ample bathrooms to accommodate us all . We found the heating a bit challenging - either upstairs was cold and downstairs hot, but dining room cold. Also, occasionally there’s a loud sort of rumble - a bit like the sound of a macerator - we think from water use in the adjacent properties ? It worried us first , but we got used to it . All in all a great place - would recommend .
