Summary: This is a warm, dry and comfortable house and perfect for our winter break. The house is spotless and has all the mod cons in near new condition. It was lovely to arrive to the fire set and some treats laid out. As others have mentioned there are a lot of basic pantry items provided and all sorts of entertainment options (fishing gear, bikes, indoor games, books, info about activities in area). There was good wifi in all rooms and excellent communication with the hosts at all stages.We had a great stay and fantastic weather for walks around the area.
