Our stay was great! Patrick was incredibly responsive and helped with any questions we had :) Overall the house was wonderful, clean rooms and tons of extra supplies and board games and books/kid magazines.My parents took the ground floor bedroom and found it hard to sleep with how loud the air con was. (I found it soothing )Could do with a deep clean to remove spider webs but overall it was great :)

Super place to stay

The front house is a spacious and really well appointed property and we had a lovely stay here. Everything was perfect from communication, comfort, through to the extra little touches such as a cake for the solar eclipse etc. Location across from the lake and near the park/beach is really nice.
