The location is highly praised for its stunning views, tranquillity, and wildlife encounters. Its suitability for walking and outdoor activities is a recurring positive theme, contributing to a high score for location.
Guests generally find the property comfortable, with ample space for gatherings and cosy features like an open fire. However, some mention dated decor and creaky floorboards, indicating that while comfort is satisfactory, there is potential for enhancement.
Facilities are appreciated, especially the kitchen's capacity to cater to large groups. However, issues with showers, Wi-Fi, and general maintenance suggest that while the facilities meet basic needs, they require attention and updating.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored, and guests should not expect such amenities as part of their stay.

The fixtures and fittings are average. For our stay the cooker had one working oven of three, to feed 12. There was no barbeque. None of the mattresses had protectors on, some were badly stained. Considering the amount charged for our four day stay, if you spent just that amount on ugrading the property it would make a huge difference.
