It's location was excellent and it was a lovely place to stay for a week, we found some lovely places to visit. The only disappointment was the swimming pool on site which was overpriced, overcrowded and the changing facilities were off a poor standard.

Nice and quiet - perfect for get-together. Clean and tidy. Everything was thought of in this property. One of the best self-catering accommodations we have stayed in. My son loved the successful fishing (you do need a rod licence).

If, like me, you struggle to find the key safe on arrival, it is attached to the wooden fencing, a short way along from the door. The glass balcony gave us fabulous views of the birds on the lake. We spotted coots, grebes and a heron besides the more common (but very entertaining) ducks, swans and geese. The outdoor furniture was a little different (better Iâd say) than the photos - still the sofa in the background but the table had 6 chairs for enjoying outdoor meals and the 2 loungers had been replaced with comfy chairs. The weather was unusually hot and the lodge did get rather warm, even with lots of doors and windows open. Maybe a fan could be added to the already extensive array of equipment provided to help with this (admittedly rare) occurrence. The kitchen is well equipped with good, sharp knives - always a bonus. The TV sound is activated by pressing the top left hand corner of the controller on the wall to the right of the TV. The bedrooms have comfy beds and the whole lodge has lots of storage. Weâd love to stay again!
