You are far enough away from the the lakes, but not that far.

Disappointed we did not get the advertised welcome pack. There is a lack of storage space for clothes in the main bedroom we would suggest a larger/better hanging rail. On the first day the shower was very hot but worked fine after that.

Even supplied photos, but still no satisfactory outcome or apologies. A bit if a contradiction to your statement in red at bottom of this form. We pass on all our guests feedback to our owners and work closely with them in order to resolve any problems.
