    The kitchen had lots of crockery, cutlery and pots and pans and the cooker/microwave were easy to use. The double fridge was useful, but it was a surprise not to have this switched on for our arrival. Additional bedding and utensils were available, though we did not need them. Having a separate lounge and dining room was good. There was little storage space in the bedrooms, but this was not a major drawback. Overall, we really enjoyed the property. The location was great (very scenic if isolated) and the rough track up to the property was not as bad as we had feared. We would happily return to this property. A welcome pack was waiting (including eggs and bread and Welsh cakes) for us and we had no problems throughout the stay.
