Comfey sofa, bed and warm duvet. Plenty of wall heaters. When the sun is out, sitting outside on the table with coffee would be great. You can watch the weather down in the valley from the window. A few items inside need a little TLC but this doesn't spoil the stay. Take a torch if you go outside at night to walk along the path. The host helped us when we had a problem.

There was a cob of bread, some milk and orange juice provided, as well as some butter and jam and tea/coffee. I'd read that the parking spot was tight in one of the reviews, not sure if that's been addressed since as it was a huge space for 1 car. I was worried that the small electric radiators were not going to be enough to heat the rooms but they were more than enough. Can't recomment the Button Box enough and would defintely stay again.

We only have a small car and still found getting into the space very tight. The pillows were badly stained (no protectors), bedroom curtains very thin (not worn) let in too much light and made sleeping difficult. The pub is described as just over 1 mile but a very difficult walk (and we are seasoned walkers). It would be useful to have some bedroom storage and information on recycling.
