Lovely, relaxing weekend in a very comfortable home

Our stay was very comfortable in this lovely home. Old style on the outside, but a lovely fresh, open decor n the inside with everything we needed for a real axed weekend. Close and convenient to local shops and very close to lake for all sorts of activities. Hope to visit again.
