This is a gorgeous setting. And it’s very quiet, and a little remote.
In retrospect itʻs very Important to establish a good initial connection with Helen, which wē failed to do and that made finding the house very difficult. We arrived too late in the day, which was awkward. I recommend getting into the area in good time. Helen made some effort to be at the house but missed us; so what I’m saying is you can’t expect to just turn up and all will be obvious. Even so, once in the house, telephone reception is not so great; therefore using the house phone to reach Helen or elsewhere becomes essential.
I’d add a note about the heat, as well. The water tank is probably 25 gallons or so, not a great capacity; so one needs to be sparing and not run the hot water willy-nilly. There’s no manual in the house for operating these sorts of things, so it needs to be said that when the heat’s on (timer) the water tank is also heating. Outside of those times in the morning and the evening, the water tank is not heating; nor is the house itself...unless you make arrangements with Helen, who is quite amenable and helpful.
