Whilst the house was as described, we would not recommend a stay here in the Winter. The house was very difficult to heat due to poor insulation / drafts and it was quite uncomfortable to stay in. We also would have appreciated - having arrived early evening with 2 small children - an option to pay for hot water and heating to be on when we arrived. As it was the house was colder than the external temperature on arrival and we needed to boil kettles and saucepans of water to heat a bath as the immersion took so long to heat up. We also would have appreciated more dining space - as an 8 bed property, there was only space for 3 people to eat at the kitchen table and even this was quite awkward and cramped.
