We really enjoyed the views of the lake, the quiet location, and the open floor plan. House had everything we needed during our stay. We’d stay here again without hesitation.
Had a wonderful birthday/girls weekend. The house was amazing and the view was to die for. Weather wasnt warm enough to make the most of the expansive balcony/deck however the dining and lounge areas were very large and comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thank you 😃👍
Lovely property, beautiful views, lovely decor and well presented
There was a few little things that I will e-mail separately about
Thank you for a lovely few days
Very well equipped beautiful views good location
Minor points to improve heat pump struggled to heat large open plan area sparking wine glasses would be nice
Very sorry we broke a water glass and missed bin being put out as we were rushing to leave!
Beautiful interior decor with stunning close lake outlook. The only negative was in winter in took a while to get properly up to temperature. Perhaps managers should turn on the heat pumps prior to visit? As a place it was superb.
