Overall it was a satisfying stay. View from the house was breathtaking. However take heed to use the hot water sparingly especially if you have a big group as the heater is not instant - we ran out of hot water on the 1st night and a few of us had to hastily finish our showers in icy cold water. Further we had difficulty getting the central fireplace started, and since the house is huge, the lack of individual heating units in each of the bedrooms meant chilly nights unless we burrowed deep into the duvets.
