Special House features.
If you are heading to Abbott's, please read through the list below, it will help you get the most of your stay.
Audio / Video
There is an integrated quality HiFi sound system, from which you can play your MP3/IPOD. Simply plug it in, and adjust the volume and away you go. It does not have a charging facility so don't forget to bring along the charger.
The DVD player will take a USB stick and play AVI files. So if you have AVI files on either the DVD disk or on a USB stick, you can play them through the telly.
Its hard to tell when the remote is going to run out of battery, one takes AA and the other AAA batteries, and you should have a couple of each handy.
Kitchen,
The kitchen is fitted with a gas hob, with a self starter. So you won't need matches for it!
For those who are passionate about cooking, there's a mortar and pestle, and garlic crusher, as well as a range of cooking utensils and kitchen knives.
For fresh coffee, there is a plunger type coffee pot, so bring along a packet of fresh ground coffee. There's little to match the smell of fresh coffee in the morning at Abbott's
There's a 'coal' barbecue, for those great outdoor days. Don't forget to pack a bag of coals, and some firelighters to kick it off. They work a treat!
Along with the fridge, there is a separate small chest freezer in the utility room. So feel free to bring along frozen food, or freeze what you won't use for later.
Living room.
Theres a wonderful open fire, so if you intend to use it on those cool evenings, don't forget to bring some firelighters and Briquettes or Coal. Guests generally leave some behind, but there's no guarantee. O'Neill's minimarket, in Castlecove, 5 mins drive from Abbott's is a great place to stock up on fuel, and its generally open until 8pm.
