The 2 queen beds downstairs were great . We cooked and found there were plenty of platters, ramekins, bowls for our use. Beautifully positioned with fab views. Walk or bike path far enough away for relative privacy but close enough to encourage us to use it. A great place for the whole family. ##### Helen F.

Unfortunately the fridge & oven needed a good clean . My husband wanting to bake a birthday cake & after only ten minutes in the oven it was burnt to a crisp. Settings need checking.

Beautiful spot and beautiful house, would love to come back. However the carpet in two bedrooms are very stained and unsightly and need a good clean which I'm sure is an easy enough job. Also the decking out to the lake is in need of repair, I tripped over a couple of times. No DVD or telephone despite listing saying it has.
