The fires will be set upon arrival but subsequent firewood, if required, will have to be purchased. Roundwood House has turf and firewood for sale.

It is a single split level apartment. There is one double bed and a small settee bed in the sitting room. Its design is an unusual and interesting use of a wonderful architectural space. It is filled with books and paintings and has beautiful views of the gardens. For children there are games to play, woods to explore and animals to feed.
