Traditional Farmhouse
It is an authentic old farmhouse, with some vintage furniture. The house is a good example of the best of the old, blended with the best of the modern world. While the kitchen and bathrooms are new, the house still retains many of its old fashioned features, including the original 1890s staircase.
Garden
There is a garden to the front and to the rear of house. The garden furniture provides seating & table for our extended family & friends to enjoy a meal outside and there are other garden chairs as well as a small circular garden table.
Parking
There is plenty of off road private parking in front of the stone barn.
Pets Allowed
Well behaved pets are allowed, provided they travel with their own bedding and that all pet hairs are removed from the house.
Digital Detox
There is no TV, DVD player or WIFI. There is 4G mobile phone reception. There is a radio, tape/CD and a gramophone/record player.
Character
The house dates from the 1890s, has lots of space and is full of character. It is our philosophy to upgrade, recycle and reuse whatever we can within the house. We do not buy new just for the sake of it. The house is our family holiday house, it is not wheelchair friendly and is not suitable for those with mobility problems.
Barbeque
A large solid steel fire pit with tripod and associated fittings is available for your use, this only burns timber. There is also a small barbecue which runs on charcoal. Try barbecueing locally reared, mountain lamb on it – wonderful flavour, once eaten never forgotten! Or freshly caught mackerel from Brandon Bay.
Linen
An ample supply of towels (including plenty of beach towels) and linen are provided for family members.
Essentials

We usually have tea, coffee, sugar, cooking oil, flour, pasta and some other basic food stuffs in the house. Also, there are hair dryers, an iron, ironing board, vacuum cleaner, shampoo, soap, first aid kit, smoke detectors and an extensive house manual containing safety instructions, further information regarding the house and the locality. The utility room has a clothes washing machine, clothes dryer and there are clothes lines, both inside and outside.
