Mini break
Lovely cottage in a relaxing spot opposite the lake with everything you need included, even dog bowls and bed for our dogs! Would recommend this place for a quiet restful break to recharge, not too far from a few cafes and bottle shop!

Wonderful Relaxer
Our stay was amazing. A great opportunity to just get away and purely relax - even with 2 teenagers and a four legged fur baby! Everything we needed was there and the close proximity to the lake was wonderful. Being able to take our fur baby with us made this place even more enjoyable. Jim and Jane were great to deal with and have put together a great place to stay and relax

Amazing property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lake house ! Lake at your door, 10 mins drive to beaches . The house has all the mod cons, very clean and very comfortable. Bonus was being able to take our furry friends. Can't wait to go back !
