    The beds were perfect and the decor was good. Unfortunately the outside of the property is where this apartment falls down. The carpark space allocated to Curlew is round the side - it would make more sense to have it at the front of the property. The steps leading down to the apartment need attention- very dirty, needs a lick of paint and to be swept once in a while. Also the house next to the property seemed to attract some rather odd people in the evenings who would congregate round the door and sing to themselves/ generally have odd behaviour. This was rather off putting when coming home from the wonderful restaurants in the area.

    We arrived quite late and with two little ones so panic set in. Lake lovers got it resolved in less than two hours which was fantastic. The apartment itself lovely with nice original features kitchen living area was nice a great space to have breakfast. The great thing about this apartment is the walking distance to local shops pubs and the lake. We will definitely be back.
