Pros: Amazing value for money. Good location and lots of space. 4 bathrooms and 2 sitting rooms, big kitchen excellent for Christmas dinner making. Great location for local walks, very peaceful.Cons: Freezing cold when we arrived in some parts of the house, took 24 hours to warm up (storage heaters). Decor very old and tired, beds and sofas not comfortable. Wi-Fi only reaches sitting rooms. No response from hosts to question.
