Warm and Cosy place for relaxing
My husband and I had 3 wonderful nights here. The house is well-eqipped, fairly private, close to 'town', and with great water pressure in the shower! One afternoon it rained incessantly and we lit the fire (woodburner) and had a cosy afternoon in. Other days we were out exploring. It was great to have provided a coffee plunger, and also oil for cooking. Great to have washing machine and dryer too, with soap powder provided. We would happily stay again. In fact i would stay a month if i could.
