Here there is a range cooker and a central table seating 8. There is a large dining room seating 14 people comfortably with coffee machine and views to the garden. A second small family room with music, books and board games. Our large comfortable lounge with sofas and arm chairs, a log stove, piano, tv, Dvd and computer.
