We had a very enjoyable stay - thank you! Minor points - the track is pretty rough after a challenging winter; we didn't always find the heating adequate during a cold week, though the stove made for very cosy evenings, and there was a fan heater to use; the WiFi was very weak and constantly dropped the connection to our mobiles (although the smart TV was [mostly] fine). The owners are aware of these issues, and I'm sure they will be addressing them. This is a lovely place to stay.
