We stayed here over a super rainy couple of days and it was just ideal! Listening to the rain while staying snug in our cottage and read, played board games and watched TV. Our pooch was a little unsure at first but settled in so nicely and loved watching the birds from the balcony ##### Maddi S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tony B. 2 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Gina Booth First impressions were what a wonderful and pretty spot overlooking the lake with ducks in, seemed idyllic as did the drive to it. However our peace was shattered through the paper thin walls by the occupant of the adjoined cottage until the early hours. The apartment is nicely furnished inside with a lovely outlook and was very clean throughout although very limited kitchen facilities. There are also some maintenance issues which need to be addressed, the outside needs some TLC, a dripping tap in the bathroom needs to be fixed and most importantly the outside decking is an accident waiting to happen with many loose planks. ##### Tony B.

Inside the cottage was clean except for the dirty windows, mould on the bathroom blinds. The positives of the cottage, the bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water, good heating. ##### Rosemary F.
