Snug and well equipped. The hot tub is great for easing the muscles after long walks or for stargazing at night. The location of the accommodation is excellent for walking to the village (a pint or two in the village makes the climb back up the hill much easier!). Thanks to Gareth, the perfect host too - there if you need him, unobtrusive when you don't!
