The most amazing stay

Thank you Clare for sharing your beautiful home with us. This trip was a birthday present for my husband, he wanted to stay somewhere surrounded by nature and mountains and your home was absolutely perfect for us. We really enjoyed exploring the walks around the lake and coming back to relax with a cuppa by the fireplace. Everything was just perfect! Thank you again for having us, we will definitely be back for more :)

A very relaxing stay with our dogs

We have enjoyed a very relaxing stay at this well equiped property. Beautiful view from the deck. Shame that it poured down on the first couple of days or else we would spend much more time out on the deck.... with a glass of wine. Last but not least, it was great being able to have a holiday with our dogs in a nice place.

Great mid winter break

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Claire's lovely house. It was perfect for us to take a break, relax and enjoy being in the mountains. We couldn't have asked for more - Claire was great in welcoming us and her home has everything one could need, is tasteful and really comfy. We wished we were snowed in so we could stay even longer. Thanks for sharing that happy place, Claire.

Lovely house in beautiful location

The house is clean, tidy and very comfortable. Everything you need for a home away from home is provided. We love this area with lots of dog walks, tramping, fishing and enjoying the outdoors. The house is ideal after a busy day, nice hot shower, well equipped kitchen, large deck with great views and comfy beds. Thank you.
