Heading outside, the patio area has seating so you can settle back with a glass of wine in the evening and take in the views.

Absolutely beautiful cottage, immaculately kept, it was an absolute pleasure staying. The log fire was beautiful and very quickly heated the entire room. Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a stay in the lakes. Easy to find from the directions given and close enough to local facilities to not have to worry about anything.
