Lovely cottage with all the amenities needed. Well equipped with little touches such as salt and pepper. Located in a beautiful area, and we got to see a dark sky, so worth mentioning for future guests.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful spot. Really spacious and tastefully done. Great facilities and well equipped kitchen. Very convenient location, we enjoyed a trip to a new town or village everyday. A rare find to allow 3 dogs so thank you very much.

I'm really disappointed by our stay. I was called a few hours before we were due to arrive to understand the cleaners hadn't turned up and so we'd have a late check-in. On checking in the place was not clean. Dog hair everywhere (all over the sofa) and my 20 month old daughter found a shard of glass on the floor. The WiFi was down in the cottage anRead mored the router was not in our building to be able to reset it. I was meant to be working on the Friday but couldn't due to no signal. Hide

Fantastic family break at this cosy cottage. The location was great, situated high above the lake and next to campsite shop and country pub. The cottage was stocked with all the essentials including a great DVD selection! The rooms were clean and modern but still had the cosy country feel to it. We would highly recommend and stay here again.
