Super warm with log burner, it is just being changed to Air source heat pump.Lovely & quiet. True Dark skies- recommend you have a torch handy to navigate from car round to accommodation. When first parking, if in the dark, watch out for pylon cable- obvious in daylight, invisible at night/in the rain.Kitchen better equipped than my own.Good communication over everything from owners.Note: there will be NOTHING consumable left in property; salt/pepper/tea/coffee etc & ONLY alcohol left for arrival.Would definitely book again. Suggest, if you have space, bringing own camper chairs for outside sitting, as chairs are just left outside & being wooden would take ages to dry enough to use
