Instant relaxation

This property was so lovely to stay at. The living area was spacious and comfortable. We utilised the fireplace and enjoyed the lovely cosy and inviting warmth. The full windows looking out to the lake was such a treat. My sons and I utilised the kayaks (a great added bonus), plus my mum and my boys and I enjoyed playing table tennis in the games room. The beds were very comfortable and everyone reported sleeping well. I highly recommend this holiday home.

Great location so quiet and peaceful on the lake front.

The house was very cold when we arrived and as it was a frosty night did not warm up. By the next day with sun to help things became very pleasant. We left a list of things that need attention which hopefully is helpful to you.
