"Absolutely loved our stay. Has a functional kitchen, we were able to make ourselves pasta for dinner. Fantastic, peaceful location. You can’t go wrong booking this. "

"The only downside was that we were next to a room being renovated. This did not spoil the view from the room and the closeness to the lake. Absolutely loved it."

"The place was great, just a shame some guests don't respect the kitchen facilities "
