  • Helen

    Fabulous views & location. Beautiful interior & spotlessly clean . Been to a lot of places but this is outstanding & feels like home .

  • Mariano

    It impresses at first with the magnificent view of the lake outside, then it continues to impress with every little detail. I am hoping to be able to find times when the property is not booked, it is so wonderful that it is difficult to book. People are wise, and places as good as this get booked very quickly. We had a fantastic time here and our memories will last for a very long time.

  • Andrew

    Stunning location and high spec property. However, I was disappointed with the lack of customer care - no welcome pack and no response to the specific issues I raised on departure. The bad drains smell in the twin bedroom was very nasty and the property would benefit from more intensive cleaning.
