It would be really great if in winter the heating could be on for when you arrive as it was reading 6 degrees inside when we checked in and it took until the next day to get properly warm which wasnât a very pleasant welcome. There is a log burner which is lovely but there were only 3 damp logs and a pile of damp kindling which you couldnât start a fire with, wouldnât be too unreasonable to leave a bag of dry wood for guests to burn. The freezer was so overly frozen the door wouldnât close so we had to spend time chipping away at the ice to close the door when we arrived. It would also be helpful if there were better instructions for the projector, we couldnât connect a USB so could only watch the provided DVDs if we had of known weâd have packed something we actually wanted to watch.
