Due to the very rural location, the WiFi comes through a dongle and is fine but not fast. Hot-spotting from phones is usually absolutely fine but please don't expect a fast connection. No smoking in the house please. All major supermarkets deliver here, if you do make an order - please make sure it is delivered after your arrival. The access road is single track and unmade, as you might expect for such an off-the-beaten-track location!What we provide - for the humans Open plan kitchen diner All bed linen and towels supplied (bath and hand towel per person) Accommodation all on one level 2 x Hairdryers Table tennis table, footballs and goals and basket ball net for holiday games (as well as the garden for hide and seek or frisbee games!)
