The property is everything you see in the pictures and more. The upstairs is a great space for relaxing and entertaining, we were lucky to have a week of sunshine and the space was warm and offered stunning views. The setting is stunning day or night. The underfloor heating was lovely, although we didnât seem to get the benefit upstairs but the space soon warms up with the sun. The house was generally clean and tidy, under sofas were a bit grubby and cobwebs in the lights presumably after the winter but did not detract from enjoying the property. The gardens are amazing and the location is quiet and private. There is a footpath which goes past the garden which is a short sharp walk to an area for stunning panoramic views, there is a lovely bench to sit and enjoy. Plenty of local amenities are a short drive away with great food options. Tall Trees is a stunning property and we were lucky to find and use for a week. Would thoroughly recommend and is very generous space for 6 people (we were 2 adults and a baby plus four legged friend). If you are looking for a quiet private space with easy access to the lakes then this is a perfect property.

We had a very enjoyable stay and the property was perfect for us. Would very happily stay here again with one exceptionâ¦. the smell from the utility room and twin bedroom en-suite was extremely unpleasant. We placed rolled up towels at the base of the doorway to both areas to stop the smell from invading the rest of the property - this worked well and we enjoyed our stay regardless. Those of us who stayed in the twin bedroom and the double bedroom (with the roll-top bath) shared the other separate bathroom off of the corridor. It is a shame really because the property is absolutely wonderful. We certainly enjoyed the lovely log fire and 360 view from the living area. Local walks from the door were great. The property itself was a perfect base to drive from for the most wonderful and challenging walks further afield. Everything catered for within the property, also clean and tidy.

The utility room smelt dreadful and the washing machine door surround was covered in mould (which we cleaned). This smell did permeate around the lower floor for a couple of days until we managed to get rid of the smell. The outdoor lights on the front balcony trip the circuit breaker when it is raining, so be aware. The fire glass had not been cleaned in a long time (we cleaned it). The utility room produces a constant 'hum' which was not a problem for us as we were only 2 people and slept at the other end of the hall but might annoy people in the room adjacent.
