We have just come back from a lovely 2 weeks at this cottage. It was clean and comfortable. The location just near the lake was more than we could have hoped for. We stepped out of the door right onto the park and the lake, our 4 yr old son loved it. The cottage is located in a quiet area but a aperfect base from which to explore the coast and other interesting days out. The lake itself is stunning and there are some lovely cafes there along with cycle hire and treks into the woods.Would highly recommend it and I am sure we will be back. |
