Excellent location and lovely comfortable house

Great location for a group holiday. House is well equipped and comfortable, although shower a bit fiddly to get even temperature. Previous guests had not done a great job of cleaning after themselves, but otherwise very much enjoyed stay.

Stunning views

We really enjoyed our stay here. Enough space that the kids could have a room each and the views of the lake and hills are gorgeous. We stayed at a pretty chilly time, but the heat pump kept us nice and toasty.
