A large social area with log burner and an adequate kitchen with a large fridge that came in very useful. It’s a little gem. |Would highly recommend if you are planning a weekend away with friends or large family. |Beautiful walks close by.|I want this place to be acknowledged for the gem it is but part of me wants to keep it for myself so it doesn’t get too busy for return visits as we’ll definitely be hiring the whole place...
