Lakeside relaxation
We had 8 adults and 2 children staying and it was very comfortable. The property was clean and well maintained. The kids had loads of entertainment and we really loved the amazing lake views. Nothing like dropping a fishing line after a day of swimming and enjoying the serenity!Air con worked well for a summertime visit and kitchen was well equipped for everything we needed.A super enjoyable stay, would definitely come again!

Beautiful house overall but AC is underpowered when upstairs blinds are left open. Property was 38 degrees inside when we arrived and only cooled by the time we left. IT would have been nice if someone arrived early to turn on AC or upstairs blinds where left closed when nobody on site.
