Very comfortable , well appointed for our cooking (we don't use a microwave), warm (Geraldine was cool and windy during our visit) so the fire and heaters, electric blankets were useful. Generous wood supply. we hope that you found your home well cleaned after our stay. we had just arrived and the kitchen/ lounge fire alarm kept going off. We had not lit the fire or started cooking , so I had to take it down. Waving the teatowel was tried a few times unsuccessfully. I put the alarm on the shelf near the bookshelf in the lounge alcove. We looked for the DVD player but could not find it, however as we are big readers, we were'nt worried. thankyou Chris and Meg and Pat. we would like to return next year at some stage
