Very personable hosts who have spared no expense in presenting a fantastic cottage property for enjoyment - a Home From Home experience. Every last detail has been thought through. From a wonderfully equipped kitchen to a fabulous interior design with bags of character. Brilliant Fibre WiFi, very comfortable beds and Premium Netflix availability. Our 96 yr old Aunt also loved her time at Owl Shack. Congratulations to Julie and Chris.

! Should place a gate at the decking because of stream and make clear not enclosed for people with dogs in your description Did not cater for disabled people! At the very least there should have been hand rails at the hall steps, in the shower / bathrooms Beds way too hard. We use a hard bed at home but these beat it Did not appreciate the email from Lakelovers on Monday morning telling us to pick up after dog in garden, set the dishwasher night before, very condescending. Consider re-wording as we found it very insulting as principled respectful holiday visitors
