"We wilden niet meer weg..."

10.0

De ruimte, het uitzicht, de kwaliteit van de bedden. Grote fijne keuken met heel veel pannen, bestek etc. Een heerlijke jacuzzi privé verscholen tussen de orachtige tuin. We waren verdrietig dat onze tijd hier erop zat.

Veel pannen waren wat oud. Ook is de grote douche of te koud of heel warm.

"Very cozy, nice atmosphere, a great stay for our family"

9.0

The location here is outstanding and we like the fact that it was basically like living in someone else’s house with everything available and very well stocked

Nothing to complain about at all The central Heating was a bit troublesome and we had to get it re-lit

"Would definitely book again"

9.0

Location was amazing - right on the lake's edge - it was lovely to sit in the hot tub with a glass of wine and look out onto the lake. The garden was lovely and I can imagine in Spring and Summer it would be glorious to sit out and have a picnic. The fireplaces were brilliant and there was loads of wood to get a roaring fire going. It was winter so it was lovely to cosy up by the fire in the evening. Central heating was also very effective and for such a large house it was warm. Kitchen had everything you could possibly require for cooking. Beds comfy too. Kerry came and met us once we had checked in and gave us some local top tips which were useful and a tour of the house .

There wasn't anything to dislike - whilst the house is older, so maybe not as fancy as others, we felt very welcome. The driveway is steep, as others have mentioned, but there is plenty of turning space at the bottom to get in and out so not an issue at all.
