House Facilities

The house is not just an ordinary self catering holiday cottage or a barn conversion - it is a large Victorian house built with style and opulence.

The house has a modern central heating system, and a new boiler mighty enough to power a medium-size aircraft carrier, so you can make the house as warm as you like it.
