It's very spacious, lots of rustic charm, beautiful fire, fully functional kitchen with every piece of equipment you might need and the bedrooms are both large and very comfortable with plenty of storage space! The bathroom is wet room style and the shower nice and powerful and there's central heating and underfloor heating throughout most of the property and that beautiful real log fire!The host was very kind and assisted us with requests that we had and always responded quickly and politely!Thank you very much, we will certainly be returning ##### Daniel H.
