We honestly couldn't have asked for better accommodation. Comfortable beds, kitchen with all you need, spacious living area and a hot tub to top it off. One small issue which was resolved by the owner within 5 minutes. A+

It is tucked away and private, very clean and well stocked, lovely decor, comfortable and a stones throw from the lake. We could not have asked for more, I can highly recommend this property.

Could do with some updated utensils in the kitchen as we cooked in a lot and found them flimsy and some essentials missing. Hot tub was lovely after a wet day walking. Nice and clean inside and very comfy.
