An excellent stay at an excellent property with wonderful scenery and privacy. Welcome pack was comparable with an up market hotel and after speaking to the owner whilst he was checking the hot tub status warmed our hearts. We will be definitely returning to see what its like in the summer.,

Daniel - Oct 2023
Possibly the most peaceful, relaxing and perfect break I've ever had. Lodge is just perfect, warm and cosy and the hot tub is brilliant for lounging around in and admiring the stunning view. The little welcome basket was a lovely touch and the croissants were delicious. Will definitely be booking again.
Elena - Oct 2023
Loved this place so much! Very nice and clean could have done with hand wash?
Alix - Sep 2023
This place was exactly what I wanted to book, it was spotless and Adam was very helpful. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and the hot tub was amazing! The kitchen was perfectly stocked with utensils and pots pans and it was so nice to have a dishwasher to do the washing up. I will definitely book to stay here again and have already recommended others to stay here too.
tin - Sep 2023
Great property. The welcome hamper was beautifully presented with quality products. Nice quality touches with the slippers with the towels too. Very quiet and relaxing site, and the hot tub had a great view down to the lake. Just what we needed after 3 years!
