The house is furnished to a high standard with a well-equipped, spacious kitchen with a good-sized dining table, comfy sofas in the lounge, and comfortable beds with good quality bed linen and towels in the bedrooms upstairs. Everything was impeccably clean and well-presented and the owner was great at communicating with us on the day we arrived and meeting us at the property to let us in when we got there. The location is truly fantastic with uninterrupted sweeping views across the peatland towards the hills to the North. We were sorry to leave at the end of our stay and will definitely return.
