Great place

The Bach was tidy, well presented and we had a wonderful stay. However, we did struggle to get the dish washer to work, one of the heaters and some of the beds/mattresses were vey soft (time to replace I think). Thank you for sharing your wonderful place.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Trout Retreat, we enjoy our time there too. Thanks for letting us know about the heater in one of the bedrooms, we have arranged for a replacement to be installed. Instructions for the new dish drawers have been put into the arrival manual for future guests.

Loved the ambience of the bach - huge lounge, log burner, big table. Games for the kids! The 4-bunk room needed heating though. We couldn't fit the portable heater in there.
