Unlimited supply of logs for the wood burner which was in constant use due to the very cold temperatures during that week. Very comfy beds. The cooking pots need replacing as the teflon is badly damaged.

The beds were comfortable but a little too soft. Everything else brilliant. Thank you for a lovely week xxx
