"We really enjoyed our stay and loved having the whole place to ourselves and the privacy. The property was really clean and comfortable. The only suggestion would be to have a washing machine there, especially for longer stays. The caretaker on site was great to communicate with and more than willing to help when needed. We are already planning our next trip!"

"The boathouses were clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. We only stayed one night. The swing seats on the deck next to the pool was a nice feature. The continental breakfast was really good. Small selection but well thought. The place is a bit tucked in with Northerlies just next door for food and drinks (pub style food). Things to be mindful of when booking *midgies in the evenings *Parking is open air and a little away from the accomodation (not right outside your door) *not flat - lots of steps"
