    Great place to stay . Host had lit the fires for us to make sure our arrival was warm. Heating and hot tub were on throughout our stay , a lot of reviews said this pace was a bit cold but it didn't seem like it for us - apart from the fact its stone floors so definitely bring slippers Livestock in surrounding fields , but no an issue for our dogs as not bothered by them. Would definitely stay again
