Great sized property, lovely family vibe, fantastic location - walking distance from the lake and just 15 mins walk to the centre of town. We have stayed here about seven times in the last six years now as we enjoy it so much for our family holidays :)The kitchen set up is great, always plenty of crockery and cutlery. Overall amenity is good, comfortable beds, warm, dry, spacious. The owners are always fast to communicate and friendly. We hope to come again soon.

We love this house, our team has stayed there for a number of years now and it has always been immaculately clean and really well fitted out. There is a large and well-equipped kitchen, lots of space and multiple single beds which suits our needs. It is in a very quiet area and is really comfortable. The host has been very helpful and fast to respond.
