We had a lovely few days at the art shack. The nature and views were lovely. And so nice to have the decks to sit on outside. The lovely big windows were great, it was freezing outside but we still got to take in the views. Thankfully we had heaters and electric blankets as the fire stove was only in one bedroom area. The one in the kitchen was tiny and we gave up on lighting it. There is lovely big fridge and a small dishwasher. Stove was ok and a gas cook top.
Don't count on the TV it is above a bed / nook and hasn't got good reception also no wifi.
We knew that this house was different but we didn't realise how far it out of our comfort zone it was. This place is very open to the elements and not a lot of privacy. The kitchen/ lounge area is lovely and thankfully contained behind a nice big glass door. But the rest is fairly open. I have to say the bedrooms were very simple /basic and the upstairs areas had a school camp feel. No one wanted to sleep up there as it was freezing and not very inviting. We knew one one of the bathrooms were outside but didn't realize both toilets were outside. The outside bathroom was freezing due to no attached roof and rectangular gap in the door and the wall. No privacy in other shower either which is in a bedroom with big window.
Also if you are a light sleeper the trains passing on the other side of the river can be a bit of a loud so maybe take ear plugs.
Beside this we did enjoy our stay and enjoyed relaxing with the views.
