The house is well designed, it is an impressive use of space.
The location is excellent.
There are 47 stairs from entrance to master bedroom, and they are very steep. The layout is one room per floor, the bathroom not on the living space level, so we found walking up and down the stairs, as frequently as needed, an inconvenience. My mother struggled somewhat, she was not injured, it's just a lot of stairs, even for a fit person to be up and down many times in the day.
The house feels good though, the interiors are very sexy without a doubt. The house has a masculine feel without the warm homely features, more of a cleverly designed, stream line modern feel.
The house temperature was a major problem for us, it was minus degrees outside for the week and inside there was mostly no heating. Underfloor heating turns on once you come home and after it has sensed you walking around. Given that we were in and out mostly, the house was always cold and the mornings were a case of get dressed as quick as you can.
The host managed to fix the problem by increasing the base house temperature from 19degrees on our last day. We felt disappointed to have not been able to sit and enjoy the house because it was too cold to sit in. A case of high tech heating, being too high tech to do the job. Check with host before you arrive what the base heat is set to, would be my recommendation.
The host was accessible and helpful when we were in contact and gave us a late check out which was great.
There was building works next door, which we weren't expecting and made some mornings an earlier wake up than we had planned for our holiday. I recommend checking that too before you stay, we weren't told in advance.
The house is smart, very well located and overall we were happy we chose this property and would know what questions to ask next time.
