The house was great, plenty of room for the 6 families we had staying, and a great setting. Make sure you light both fires as soon as you arrive though. We were staying in August and only arrived and got the fires lit around 4pm. The main living area warmed up quickly, but it took a long time for the heat to radiate through the rest of the house, even with the fires chock full of wood and all the doors open. It was fine for the adults, but it was a bit chilly for the toddlers and they kept waking up through the night. We had to relocate extra electric heaters from the shearers quarters for the rooms down the far end of the house. Once its warmed up the house retains the heat quite well and we didnt have that problem for the following nights, it just takes a while for the heat to soak through in the first place. Make sure you do a good job of cleaning up afterwards too, the expectations were higher than other places we've stayed.

This is an amazing house with great facilities. A great amount of space for a large crowd to enjoy great times and memories made. Beds are comfortable and the open plan living area is a great space. The outdoor surroundings were beautiful with amazing views and walks around the farm. Thank you

We have stayed in many Holiday Homes and this would be our favourite by far! It had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with quality cutlery, crockery and cookware. Modern stove and fridge/freezer. Plenty of warm bedding. 2 fires that did a great job of heating the whole house - which was great as it was very cold when we arrived. Large lovely gardens to wander and play in.
