Accessed via external steps, this home provides a generous and welcoming space. The front door opens into a well-equipped kitchen with a view over the lake. The open-plan sitting room features a comfy sofa, Smart TV, and a dining table, plus a Juliet balcony with French doors opening to more lake views.

Stunning Location

I booked The Lakehouse Apartment for my wife and myself to stay while we were visiting our daughter around 10 minutes drive away. It turned out to be an excellent choice and the accommodation suited us well. We were particularly impressed by the wonderful view of the lake in the grounds and local wildlife as well as the rural views. The owner lives onsite and was very helpful. The apartment is off the beaten track in a tranquil location and we would have no hesitation in re-visiting should we require accommodation in the area again.
