It was never going to be easy. People have different ideas of what a family holiday is all about. With 10 different people, although the same family there will always be some mild conflict with what people want to do each day.
This one has been exasperated with problems surrounding the accommodation. First there was a problem with the heating, to the extent that there simply wasn’t any on. Then the internet went down which meant that the heating,
which is controlled via the internet couldn’t be changed. Then yesterday, the power went off. Luckily the evening meal was cooked, but 10 people trying to eat at a table with only one smallish candle was a sight to behold.
However, all is good now, but there is still an issue with the heating.
We went to the world famous Tan Hill Inn. It is the highest pub in Great Britain and also the highest point on the renowned Pennine Way. It was really busy, full of walkers and general tourists. Me and K*** just had a sandwich between us whilst S**** had one to himself. The food was okay, nothing special but we just went there for the atmosphere. It was a shame that the Tan Hill Ale just finished as we got there, but we had a nice pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord.

I feel like I have missed something here – Heating ON! is there a microclimate of cold air in the Pennines? LOL. Have you tried Exmoor Ale? It is delicious and great for a shandy if driving, which I always am.

That particular weekend was quite cool. The cottage has stone floors downstairs and we had two elderly people with us. Plus, the heating controls heated the water, so there was no hot water for a couple of days. It got better though 😊

That explains it then. The cottage we were in in Exmoor had stone floors throughout, but the hot water was on a separate cycle of the oil boiler.
