Just Wonderful
If you’re looking for a peaceful and beautiful place to stay then this is a ‘must stay’ place. Situated on a lakefront with views across to the hills and direct access onto the lake for kayaking, paddle boarding or even just sitting on the jetty to while away an hour gives this property that exclusive feel. Inside the house there’s everything you need and more to make you feel like this is a home from home. I will definitely stay there again and probably again, so all I can say to Stayz users thinking about staying here is ‘don’t delay’ in booking as you’ll regret it if it’s gone. Sorry, should have mentioned the owners are great too.

Wanted a relaxing winter get-away for myself and husband, plus brother and very elderly mother. The property didn’t disappoint in any aspect - every bit as lovely as the photos. Great views and very comfy lounge area, excellent kitchen plus well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms.
