Very nicely equipped. The central heating was broken so difficult to sleep. The back yard needs a lot of improvement, at the moment it is depressing. the stairs are very steep with shallow treads. There are so many midges, the bites of which caused my husband to develop a serious infection and is still on antibiotics as am I. I think future guests should be warned.
