Great lakefront spot

The lakefront location with the grassed area adjacent the garden was brilliant for both the people and the dogs for leisure and play. Kayaks were a great extra thanks. The property is neat and tidy with a great open plan space for family activities.

The house is well equipped and very comfortable. It was great to have the fire for the cool nights. It was a nice touch to have the welcome bottle of wine and biscuits. Lovely sitting out the back and watching the sun set across the lake.

We loved our stay!

We were a group of two families (4 adults and 4 kids) and we had the most wonderful stay! Communication with Kaitlyn and the team was easy, fast and much appreciated. The house was perfect - very clean, super comfy beds, well appointed kitchen, plenty of space for everyone. We loved the location and out look from the back towards the lake - particularly during the gorgeous sunsets we were treated to! Also a bonus were the kayaks which were enjoyed by all. We would love to return to Sunset Escape! Thanks for having us and providing a perfect place for our stay.

Excellent stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. Relaxed and peaceful area. The house was perfect for us and had all we needed. Spotless (compliments to the cleaners). We did not attempt to use the table tennis because it appeared to have issues. (Wheel missing and broken strut). We would definitely stay again. It was just what we were after. Thankyou.

Nice weekend

We enjoyed our stay, nice property. It had all the necessities for a lovely weekend. The family enjoyed the canoes. We took our 91yr old father and the property was perfect for the elderly with no steps. If I was to fault anything it would be the curtains in all rooms let down the property. They don’t work or close properly. Oh and although you can’t let your dog off the lead in the reserve out the back the rope system set up was great! Thank you for a nice weekend.
