We had a fantastic family holiday this gorgeous lakeside cottage. Uninterrupted water views, a jetty and lovely deck to take it all in. The cottage was spotless, beautifully renovated and had everything we needed. Our hosts were also very responsive and went out of their way to help when we had a small issue with emails.Would highly recommend and plan to make another trip next year.

The house was clean and tidy when we arrived and smelt fresh. There were plenty of towels and the beds were super comfortable. My husband loved that the water pressure in the shower was string and not just a trickle. The whole area was peaceful and quiet - a great place to relax and unwind.
Actual view from the house.

Beautiful location with great service!

The cottage is located in a wonderful part of the lake, the deck and jetty is amazing! We had some queries about a few things and the hosts were so responsive, going well out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. We can’t recommend this cottage enough, hopefully we will be back!
