The Bothy:
This is a self contained stone cottage with an open plan comfortable seating area and kitchen with dining table. There is also a separate shower room. It has been redeveloped with a modern twist, combining the cosiness of the thick walls of the original building with modern furnishings and a hi tech surround sound cinema system. It is a great place to get away from the hustle of the main house or to send the children to when things get slightly too noisy to bear! It can also be treated as a visit to the cinema by taking the short walk between the two buildings on an evening.

There is also a pool table and a small multi games table (table soccer, table hockey etc) plus a selection of books and board games in the bothy, so there should always be something to do on a rainy day.

The Bothy which can sleep up to 4 on a double sofa bed and separate futon can be made available at an additional cost to the main house.

Open fire in the sitting room and the roaring log burning stove in the sun lounge. Both rooms have CD players, with a television and full Sky Plus together with DVD and video available in the lounge. The kitchen has most appliances including eye-level oven and separate hob. Broadband Wireless is also available at Easter Duiar – log on to the internet from your laptop with no need to plug in. The Bothy has a home cinema system, with DVD and wall mounted 42" television screen, offering access to a full selection of Sky Plus High Definition programmes and movies. A pool table and a multigames table in the Bothy plus a selection of videos and dvd's' mean you should never be short of something to do on a rainy day. A high chair and cot are also provided. There is also a garden shed for bike storeage.
