Second time we have stayed in this property While we love the space of the place to accommodate our large family, we thought this time the place was in need of a deep clean, ie down the back of the sofa etc. I am sure the house has been booked back to back throughout the holiday period so hopefully it was just due to this, however it was something we noticed this time.

Perfect family getaway

Hi, This is the second time we've stayed at your property. It really is ideal for a mixed family get together, with plenty of space for all ages, to be together, and apart at different times. Location is ideal and short walk to lake. Thank you, we loved our time here, and have built some more family memories!

Nice and close to the lake. Multiple and large living spaces meaning a large group can be together but take time out if needed.
