DRYING & STORAGE FOR STUFF
Overall it doesn’t rain here a lot but it does rain sometimes and snow. Drying is important so as well as heated drying inside the house for coats, hats and boots, there is a large heated drying area and a dryer in the boiler room outside suitable for large coats, wetsuits, bikes etc.

There is a large lockable wooden shed to keep bikes, cycles, skis, snowboards etc. Your host can arrange the rental of sports equipment as it doesn’t come with the house!
