The heating works pretty well but being a large country house please don't expect to walk around in a t-shirt in the middle of winter! The wood pellets are an unusual fuel for Scotland and was chosen as a fuel source because they are from a renewable resource. The stove, nicknamed HAL, provides a nice fire to sit in front of in the main common room.
