Thanks for your feedback! We’re pleased to hear the home suited your group. We appreciate you letting us know about the BBQ and have shared this with the owner for review. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!
Nice stay, the fire kept the living / dining / kitchen area very warm and toasty as required.
Make sure to check inside the pantry for the oven power switch.
We turned off the transfer fan while there as this was making slight Smokey smell throughout the bed areas.
Overall a great stay can recommend!!!
