My friend and I had an amazing stay. The location was better than expected. We loved sitting on the back decking having a wine or two, wandering down to the lake, and walking to the town cemtre. We had dinner at the Boat house which was conveniently at our doorstep. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms great. We really appreciated the complimentary wine and wifi... We returned to our lives thoroughly relaxed. We would definitely stay here again. Loved loved LOVED the charm of the place. Thanks for having us.
