Guests have found the beds comfortable and the property cosy, particularly praising the warmth after long walks. Some guests mentioned issues with mattresses and seating, but overall, the comfort level is highly regarded.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests appreciate the wood burner and private parking.

The rooms are spacious but cosy and they all have amazing views of the lake. We found the property was very clean and well equipped. We really appreciated the hamper of handpicked local produce. Excellent place to stay. Would definitely recommend!
