We look forward to hosting you!

We were so impressed with this property. Clean and tidy and a fantastic location. We felt very at comfortable in this lovely homely stay. Thank you very much, we will definitely be booking again.
Fantastic place to stay, so close to the lake and to town. Good communication from the host, a previous guest had had an issue with the fridge/freezer and they provided an extra fridge overnight until it was resolved. There was also an issue with the heat pump and they dealt with it straight away. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable.
The property manager was professional, timely and organised. The property was great for our family of five and perfectly located to stroll into town. Cleanliness was an easy 5 stars.We'll be back.
Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us! 😊
For the benefit of future guests, we’d like to mention that after your stay we added electric blankets to all the beds. The house also has a heat pump in the lounge and electric heaters in each bedroom to keep things cozy and warm.
Great stay. Only thing I would recommend is that you replace and upgrade the television. No streaming services available as television is too old, plus the usb port works but not with a usb data devise.

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. 😊
Just to clarify for future guests, the TV is a smart TV and includes all the main streaming apps. It’s possible there was a setting issue during your stay, but we’ve double-checked and everything is working as expected now.
