A Place to Retreat...
We had a such a welcoming surpise on arrival. This home is hugely comfortable and spacious with all the amenities and comforts of home. With dismal weather following us, it was a wonderful retreat! It's a shame our stay was so short! The host promptly replied to any questions and queries.

Relaxing stay
This is a very spacious house with a wonderful living area. We felt really comfortable relaxing, sharing a meal, having a drink on the upstairs deck at sunset. Close to the lakeside so good for lovely walks as well. Would definitely stay again.
