While we (group of middle-aged male walkers) enjoyed our stay here, I would not considerate this property appropriate as family accommodation. All the beds were clean and dry however, in general the house could do with a good clean. One of the showers has what you might call, dogdey tile-work, one of the stoves has the old-fashioned spiral electric elements, difficult to operate/control, the overhead light shades could do with a cleaning; the central heating system has a number of timers, we never did work out which thermonstat controlled which radiators. It was mild when we were there so there was enough heat from the fires but I imagine it would get very cold in the Winter/Spring. HAving said all that we enjoyed our stay.
