The Facilities
Roeburnscar is a ground floor bungalow. Originally Rod's family home, it has now been renovated and made into a cosy and spacious holiday cottage with wood stoves and central heating run on our own timber from the farm. The bio mass boiler is attended to on a daily basis either by us or by a friend who resides in the stable conversion next to the laundry with minimum disruption to our guests. The cottage is furnished with a mixture of old and new--antiques,artwork, ethnic throws, Welsh bedspreads, handmade bedheads, door and kitchen cupboards from our timber,slate from the Lake District.....all this with stunning views of the river, the smell of roses in the summer, wood smoke in the winter and the sound of the wind and water.
