Quite Times
Stayed here for a fortnight and rested well.
Firstly make sure you follow the directions and you will find the place easy, its tucked away and very quiet, The rear patio of the property is exceptional with a huge amount of space plenty of sun area and a good amount of shade space as well, its gets hot in the mountains and conversely can be chilly at night.
Inside, the house is quirky with only 2 rooms on the same level, the entry dining room and kitchen, the Kitchen itself is large and well equipped and we had no trouble producing meals form there. There is also a large twin bedded room down some steps off the dining room.
The TV room has a good range of english channels and for more comfort has a log fire for those colder moments. A large king size bedroom is up a few steps from the dining area and has an adjoining bathroom separated by a curtain.
Overall the owners have made a good job in what is an old house in the mountains and still shows alot of the old character that you would expect and still has plenty of electric points an each room.
During our stay we had a couple of problems with drainage and the electricity tripping, HOWEVER this in no way detracted form our stay as we made contact with the owners and they were nothing short of straight onto it. In fact they were nothing short of brilliant, both in getting the issues sorted and communicating with us.
The only reason i cant give this house five stars is the internal layout was difficult for us as we had my mother with us (82) and she wasn't confident in going to the upstairs double bedroom as there was no toilet up there we didn't want her trying to go up and down in the night. we also would have preferred a door not a curtain between the master bedroom and ensuite which was also shared with the other twin bedroom.
Putting al that aside the area is great with some nice places to visit all in the very well written and comprehensive house info given by the owners.
you must be confident driving as its about a 20 minute drive to the main fast roads and in the small village itself with a large 7 seater van it was an experience.
If you like peace and quiet, great views, interesting local walks and the security that the owners will help you out with anything you need then this is the place for you .
Emma and Duncan thanks for everything.
