The house: lovely, spacious and clean. Outlook: front (lake) and back (garden)were beautiful. Beds: nice linen, and comfortable. BBQ area: covered, sheltered, comfortable, and spacious. Parking: good. Communications with Gemma very helpful.

The stairs: External stairs to main entrance, and steep spiral internal. It is not clear in advertising photographs that the main entrance was up a flight of stairs. We are octogenarian and found carrying our food and bags up, and down, very difficult. We were a group of eight guests, and for such a nice house, there was a distinct sparseness of simple amenities, which we found surprising and disappointing: e.g. 1 super tiny cheap soap per bathroom, hand wash that didn't lather and looked watered down, toilet spray can empty, no rubbish bins, two flannels per bathroom for eight guests; no facility for hanging or storing clothes in all but one bedroom, no bedside lamps - at least one per bedroom would have been helpful especially when getting up in the night; large lounge had lounge seating for just 5, one coffee table and no side tables to rest cups and glasses. Kitchen: One small carton of milk, cheap unpleasant tasting tea bags, dish-washer didn't wash cleanly - cheap soap? Main rubbish receptacles: only two and not third one for recycling. Outdoor furniture on smaller deck was not cushioned for use - we did find the cushions in the bbq area, but the seats should have been cushioned up for our arrival. We needed to sweep the BBQ area floor. For the price paid, all of the above should have been in keeping with a house of this standard.
