An authentic off-grid experience

There is no conventional mains electricity, television or fixed telephone, allowing guests to disconnect and enjoy the quiet of the countryside. Cooking is by gas, while the traditional fireplace provides warmth and atmosphere on colder evenings.

Ask the owners about current lighting, phone-charging, mobile-reception and refrigerator arrangements when enquiring.
