Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again at some point in the future.Only concern is that due to miscommunication the welcome hamper was practically empty and there wasn't even enough logs for one fire.Also the mattress on the double bed was very lumpy. We had issues with the heating system and there were no instructions on how to operate it.
