Summary: This property was so lovely to stay at. The living area was spacious and comfortable. We utilised the fireplace and enjoyed the lovely cosy and inviting warmth. The full windows looking out to the lake was such a treat. My sons and I utilised the kayaks (a great added bonus), plus my mum and my boys and I enjoyed playing table tennis in the games room. The beds were very comfortable and everyone reported sleeping well. I highly recommend this holiday home.
