Good location but property needs bit of upgrade.
Good location but furniture was very old. The property should be upgraded with smart Tv, dishwasher, good bathroom amenities , kitchen upgrade and thoroughly cleaned to make it more liveable.

Our Xmas Lake House holidsy
Nanny, Poppy,Mummy,Daddy daughter 3years and baby 5 months stayed at Nany' lake house( nzme given by 3 year old).
There was plenty of space for us all to spread out and come together.
We walked on the walkways at the bottom of the garden and swam in the lake down there also.
We enjoyed Million dollar views from all our windows. I couldnt get enough of them.
The full kitchen meant we could cook together and dining area had plenty of room.
Parking to the door!
We all loved it and had a fun time together.
Would happily return in a heartbeat.
