Lovely setting with stunning lake views, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The owner, Alex, was attentive and provided expert advice on the local area. Plenty of space for kids to run around and enjoy the water. Would definitely return.

Stayed over Xmas; wonderful location with lovely views of the countryside. the self, catering units were spacious, and the cleaning staff did a good job daily. Appreciated the ready, made meals; what a treat. Being able to take a boat out for fly, fishing added to the experience. cleanliness in the rooms was lacking, and no maintenance was done.
Do not recommend staying here. the curtains were old, and we had trouble with the door lock.

We stayed at a guest farm nearby some good restaurants. the location is perfect, near a beautiful lake with lots of birds. the room was spacious and cozy, with a fireplace ready to be lit. We enjoyed the stunning views from our verandah and had a great time relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere.
We found that the service was a bit lacking. We were not informed of where we were allowed to walk and we had no contact with the owner.

The cottage had a nice fireplace, perfect for a romantic evening. The bed was comfortable and the linen was soft. The location was secluded, offering privacy and a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for a romantic escape.
The cottage was not well maintained. The furniture was outdated and showed signs of wear and tear.
