The location of the property is amazing. It is a very old house, but that was clearly stated in the description. The property doesn't have fly screens, which is a bit of a challenge in summer. Other than that, it's a lovely, quirky cottage to stay in.

Beautiful old cottage that was warm on a cold weekend. The cottage was left to give us a perfect welcome with lovely lighting and the heating on. Beautifully fitted out and comfortable for such a small cottage. Wonderful location and was perfect for our weekend break

Borealis on the Lake
Superb location for access to the lake. Quiet, lovely outlooks over the lake. The step down into each of the bathrooms could be quite dangerous if you are at all unsteady on your feet, but that is the only issue and the house itself is ideal for a getaway.
