Buying a permanent home in Ardamine area

Julia105

Hi all, we are thinking of buying a house in the Ardamine area that was initially built as a holiday home. Would like to know if anyone has experience of living permanently in a holiday built home, how is the insulation and so on. I'm reading everywhere that the insulation is non existent in them. Would like to know how are the winters in them.
Also is the Ardamine area suitable for a young family. I have a 6 year old and a small baby. How is the local school? Are there any afterschool activities that do not require driving?

I love the area as a holiday retreat and would like to know how the permanent residents find it there.
Thank you in advance!
