Whilst everything is provided that you need and it is a lovely house, it's in need of some upgrading.

Although we enjoyed our holiday we felt the house was tired . Non stick saucepan were very worn., towels could be renewed, no seat to sit on to remove/put on boots until you reach the living room, blinds in upstairs bedrooms not blackout and rattled against frames if you left window open.The first day we found a raw sewage leak from drain outside plumbers attended and unblocked drain they said that they would be back later to clean up sewage as they had the wrong van with them! Didn't come back. We felt we had overpaid for the week compared to other weeks.

Great holiday home, great for climbing Goatfell. House doesn't have any logs for the fire so you will need to buy some.
