From the moment we opened the gate leading into the property we were very impressed. The cottage garden was beautifully tended to and delighted us. We then entered the cottage to find it welcoming and clean. There were many thoughtful touches that made our stay so enjoyable. The location is also a highlight. Walking distance to the town centre, station and lake.

This is such a beautiful property & is loved by its owners. It was so clean, super comfortable, there was not one thing they hadn’t thought of! It was like being in your own home. Very quiet area & yet so central to town. Adored the hydronic heating! Our doggies loved it and were made to feel welcome. We will be back in warmer weather.
