Lovely family holiday

We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house with such a stunning view. It was listed as 8 adult and 2 children but I would say it only slept 9 comfortably. Two beds were crammed into a tiny room which wasn’t ideal. Otherwise it was warm, and very well equipped.

Great property and location

Myself, children and friends had a wonderful stay at number 26. The lake house was lovely and a great location. We would definitely recommend.
