Thank you for your review Michelle. Apologies that this Property requires you to bring your own linen - I totally understand. Unfortunately there is no linen service at Loch Sport or surrounds. Therefore, many Properties in the area have the same requirement. Glad you enjoyed your stay despite this. Regards, Di

Excellent property

Great property in an absolutely fantastic location. The house was exactly as advertised, clean and easy to find. One of the most beautiful out looks you will experience. The bath rooms (3) were beautiful and clean and beds were very comfortable. Checking in was a breeze lots of crockery, cutlery and things for the little people. Great games room with lots of activities. A long drive for us just for a weekend, 3 or more days would have been perfect. Thank you for presenting you house so beautifully.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
We enjoyed our stay overall—the location is incredible and the views are stunning. The top floor is beautiful, though it could use some maintenance.The deck has amazing views but needs major repairs. The outdoor recliners are quite old, and the umbrella was broken. Downstairs is spacious, but the bedding wasn’t very comfortable, and having to bring our own linen at this price was unexpected.There is direct access to the lake, but the path is extremely steep—only very fit people would manage the walk down and especially back up.We also experienced a power outage, which meant no electricity or water for around seven hours since the pump relies on power. For a house of this size, a backup generator is essential. It took 1.5 hours to get a response from the host, the phone number listed was disconnected, and we were told there was no generator or local support. A clear emergency plan and a reachable local contact are needed.The property has amazing potential, and with some maintenance and better emergency support, it could be an exceptional stay.

No quiet enjoyment

The property is up for sale. People think that its ok to intrude on others solitude, so they can checkout the property up for sale. Even worse, was the indifference and rudeness of the intruders when told its not ok to come on property. We never got the sunset that was pictured. The intruders stole the only one sunset, the clouds didn't take. The house was dirty. Remants of a previous party and cobwebs. Looks like they clean after occupation and not before. The gas log fire does not work. The dishwasher does not take the large dinner plates provided by the host. The some doors do not open or close without effort. Umbrellas were broken. Retaining walls outside were crumbling. Plenty of parking and after bringing our own linen, the beds were comfy.

Hi Betty, I am sorry that you had a moment of disturbance during your stay at the house. As explained this was due to a lack of communication and both the "Intruders" and myself have sincerely apologised for this. I am sorry that the platters dont all fit in the Dishwasher - sometimes this happens. This house is always cleaned after each stay. Thanks for your feedback. We have always had very positive reviews ..again, apologies for the short interuption to your break. Regards..Di

Property was great. Didn’t notice that no linen was provided until it was too late and checked in. Had to buy linen due to this. Listing needs to be changed so it’s clear on the description (not in a seperate tab).

About the host

Hosted by Di

Host profile image
We have owned Lakeview Retreat for nearly 17 years. We built the current house to replace the old cottage that was, unfortunately, beyond saving.
Although it is listed as a new Property, it was available with Vrbo/Stayz for some years but our Manager has recently moved on.
We have had many great Reviews from our tenants.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the old Cottage that was originally here. We also love the double block of land and, of course, the amazing water views.

What makes this property unique

One of the highlights is the stunning water views ! We never get sick of them - day or night! We are afforded with amazing Sunsets and sunrises. Nothing better than to sit on the deck and watch the world pass by.
