We had a great time in the Island View Cottage! Mary, was so kind and put the heating on for us, before we arrived! And there was lots of solid fuel too to keep that big fireplace going! such lovely views from the cottage onto the lake! And yes, the house is basic, but it was very very clean and had everything we needed! Will hopefully come back and bring the kids to this lovely place!

The self catering was located in a very quiet area, with all the necessary features. The house was clean and all provided and available equipment was working perfectly well.

Beautiful magical location. The house itself is modern and functional rather than a character property, but is spotlessly clean. The living room is tiny with no comfy sofa but the weather was so lovely we hardly needed it!
