You do need a SUV or similar to negotiate the road, however the house itself is very spacious and the kitchen is relatively new and has everything you need. Very clean, and hosts were very obliging and available if any problems. We appreciated the quality toys left out for our 3 year old to play with. Large family bathroom and good sized bedrooms. If the weather is cold you will need to light the log burner, however plenty of wood was available as well as firelighters etc. My daughter noted the bedroom windows don't have blackout curtains if that is an issue for children.
