The home has 6 bedrooms, two with ensuites, separate lounge and the large main living area opens up to an alfresco dining area with an outdoor setting to seat 10. The outdoor area can be closed off if it is too cold or screened to keep out bugs and mosquitoes.

As I have stated before, this is a quiet family area and indeed enjoy yourself but if your intentions are to come along with a whole heap of mates, 4 boats and 8 cars or similar and make a whole heap of noise and upset my neighbours then I don’t want your booking, go elsewhere. Most people do the right thing it is just some that have no regard for anybody but themselves. If you wish to use the kayaks then please notify the owner 2 days prior to arrival so we can leave them out for you to use. Use of Kayaks are at your own risk, it is up to the leasee to ensure the kayaks and safety equipment are up to the Waterways regulations and standards, if you are not satisfied that they are to the Waterways standards then please do not use the kayaks and if you book this accommodation you agree to all the rules and regulations on this website. Covid 19 Policy If Covid 19 restricts you from travelling on your dates then we offer you the flexibility to re book at another time, we do not refund as Stayz hold your payment until you check in. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Picnic area - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: No smoking on the property. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city centre - In the mountains - Near the sea - On a lake - On a river ### Things to do - Foosball table ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances;
