The location is highly praised for its privacy, stunning lake views, and abundant wildlife. Guests enjoyed the peacefulness and the natural setting, which contributed to a relaxing experience.
Comfort levels were generally well-regarded, with guests appreciating the cosy yurt, underfloor heating, and comfortable bedding. However, some noted issues with dampness and maintenance that affected their comfort.
Facilities such as the hot tub and sauna were highlights, though some guests reported maintenance issues with the hot tub, sauna, and boat. The presence of a projector and BBQ were positives, but the need for updates and repairs was evident.
While guests mentioned thoughtful touches like fluffy towels and dressing gowns, there is insufficient information to determine if gifts were provided or if their presence is consistent. Therefore, a score cannot be given, and guests should not expect gifts as a guarantee.

There is so much wildlife nearby I wish we had brought our binoculars. We had a relaxing break away and would definitely come back. Cleanliness was good, but there were a lot of cobwebs inside the yurt.

I liked the hot tub, the films on the projector. I liked watching the wildlife.

Only one champagne flute, one pint and one half pint!! Two wine glasses was fine, but that was it. There was washing up liquid, and dishwasher tablets, but the dishwasher immediately said it needed salt and rinse aid, so we had to go buy that. Knives extremely blunt! Sauna not working effectively, takes a couple of hours to reach an acceptable temperature. Main thing was the cleanliness, the floor clearly had not been swept or mopped and the drawers and bedside table that pull out were terribly dusty and mouldy. The tap/shower head over the bath leaks really badly all over the floor. Donât get me wrong, it is a beautiful and peaceful location, hot tub was great, I just think it is looking very tired, could do with a bit of tlc and better cleaning done.
