Summary: The house was large and clean but it is not a house for a winter stay We froze the first night, the fireplace at our end of the house was blocked so we couldn’t use. At that end of the house no other heating was supplied and the heating at the other end of the house did nothing to warm. Two oil heaters were supplied for the next night which definitely improved the two bedrooms we were using We found the check in process the most onerous we have ever encountered and felt that we treated like we lacked mental ability to know what was required of staying in a rental property and checking in. The full A4 page of detailed instructions of what was required at checkout was again something that we had never encountered. Lacking small details that would be expected in a holiday rental- firewood supplied but no matches or firestarters, body wash /soap or hairdryer Disappointing stay
