One of the reasons I love Tassie are places like this and the people who build, own and maintain them. Everything here is hand made and beautiful. I immediately feel at peace in an environment with so many natural forms and shapes. Warm timbers, glass bottles as windows in the walls, homely, cosy.
So why not 5 stars? The description of how to lite the wood heater, which in turn heats water, warms the place and cooks food, was easily misunderstood. Now, I've lit 1000s of fires in my life but this is a very "home-made" construction. There were, unknown to me, two leavers in the flue. The description only points out "the leaver" and I moved the wrong one. That resulted in 2 hours of trying to lite a fire, smoke in the house to a point where we wouldn't be inside any more, after a day of hiking, it got cold, the smoke alarm did its job, we couldn't cook and I couldn't contact the host for some time. Yes, it's only one small thing but it lead to ruined evening and would have been avoidable
