The little lockwood was tidy and the amenities were impeccable and in top working order. The fireplace was an added bonus as we went in the Winter (and who doesn't love a cozy fire!) Every thing was there and provided except sheets and towels, which we were more than happy to provide.

We had a nice short winter break at this property with our 3 kids. The wood fire warmed up the living areas really well and the bach had all the basics we needed. The only downside was for a winter stay the bedding was not really warm enough, I'd recommend taking your own warm duvets in winter. Otherwise, great little place, close to the lake, and reasonably priced!

It was homey and cosy, and very close to the family we were visiting. Would be very handy during longer stays as we would also be close to the lake.
