All I can review for this property was the service, as unfortunatly we didn't make it to the property due to the latest Covid level 4 lockdown. The evening before lockdown began (the day before we were due at the property) we contacted them and they were so understanding and wonderful to deal with. They fully refunded our (non refundable) deposit without any issues. On the service alone I would recommend.

The room was simple but the lakeside view was amazing. Also the heater and the wooden floors in the toilet made a lot of difference.

Warm and cozy room. It would be better if there were some cutlery in Kitchen, as we were unaware cutlery could be borrowed. Otherwise, it was the best.
