We had a three day family get together at Shivams. Definitely don't pick this house if you like everything shiny and matching. This is a haven for imagination and conversations by the fire. The central heating is quick and effective but the fire invites you in to sit and linger. I loved that there were enough chairs for 13 of us to sit at the table together. And enough squishy, comfy sofas to sit around the fire. This is a house full of creativity and a unique experience. Yet all the practicalities are in good order. Lots of kitchen equipment and everything you might need. Emer looked after us really well, helping with various queries. It tales a while to figure which switch belongs to which light. Emer prepared the sauna and that was thoroughly enjoyed. Great location.
