Beautiful well equipped property
The property had everything needed for a lovely stay. The welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated. My granddaughter loved the small mugs ( probably meant for espresso) which she said were for kids. If the weather had been better we would have spent more time on the balcony as the view was lovely.

Outstanding!
Had a wonderful Christmas time with family (all adults) in Helens wonderful boathouse. Can’t fault anything about this place. Certainly had the wow factor response from all of us. Especially the view from the balcony overlooking the lake. Stunning! Very well equipped and totally spoilt with the welcome pack Helen left us. Milk, bread, eggs, fresh orange, butter, wine, too much to mention she’d thought of everything. Even lots of goodies and even left Christmas crackers. A beautiful Christmas tree and the whole place was spotless! Thank you so much Helen for a wonderful stay in your property. I can highly recommend it to anyone thinking of staying, and we’re fussy!
