The outside table is damaged and unusable. Left early because of the weather, nothing to do with property.

But the heating wouldn't work and only a small amount of logs for the log burner supplied. The heating stopped working again during our stay. We had to spend £30 on logs in order to keep warm. The living area needs a deep clean cobwebs every where and very dusty. Pillows like pancakes, so ended up with a bad neck. Be careful in the shower, the water was extremely hot and would take the skin off you. No way of adjusting the hot water temperature. Overall, very tired and needs a refresh. Pots, pans and equipment in poor condition. If looking for a no frills, basic stay it will be adequate.
