Feels very spacious and also cosy with the fire and big sofas. We requested extra logs during our stay which was provided straight away. We had a great time. A few issues for maintenance: there was a handle missing from the fridge so we had to transfer it from a cupboard not used often, one of the oven doors doesn't shut fully, there is a leak in the roof by the front door, the water pressure in the en suite shower is very low, the cistern doesn't alway re fill in the en suite toilet

The owners have thought of everything. Very peaceful and isolated surroundings but with easy access to local tourist attractions
