The property sleeps up to 4 adults and 4 children (8 max).

A wood burning stove provides ample heating in the cooler months. The property includes TV/DVD/stereo, a pool/snooker table with all accessories, dart board with darts, Playstation with 2 controllers and games, selection of books, magazines, board games and jigsaw puzzles. A large garage and shed can be used to park several cars. A cosy cabin, a short walk from the house, has power and light, and can be used by the kids to escape the adults!
