What a beautiful house. What Arlene & Chris have achieved is incredible and the photos dont do it justice. We had a great week, perfect location to visit all areas of the Lakes and the house made it. It hosts all the things you could imagine you may need and more. Would definitely stay here again.

A spectacular weekend. We had incredible weather which hugely helps this property as I don't think we'll ever stay somewhere with grounds and views like it. The furniture outside is high quality and you can follow the sun everywhere. The river is a two minute walk over the bridge and we took our paddleboards.

The property is amazing and with a wonderful view of the river. The owners live next door so are available if you do have an issue but otherwise we did not even see them. Local pubs are very convenient and serve good food. Also a well stocked local store is a short walk away.
