Warm, cosy and comfortable with hooting owls and deer walking past outside. The kitchen table was sticky and we would have liked an extra saucepan, but overall, 95% good...

Very good price. Clean and warm. But as mentioned in previous reviews accommodation tired. Definitely vintage. Needs varnishing inside. And jet washing outside it did not look loved. But for the price good value.
