As advertised this property is extremely clean, comfortable and updated. Was a perfect location and retreat in the region being close to towns and restaurants but nice and quiet on the lake. Helen the owner also close by and very helpful & communicative. We had a great stay and would come back for sure.

The property had everything needed for a lovely stay. The welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated. My granddaughter loved the small mugs ( probably meant for espresso) which she said were for kids. If the weather had been better we would have spent more time on the balcony as the view was lovely.
