We had a wonderful stay at this tidy, older-style bach. It has a great layout with plenty of space for the whole family to relax comfortably. The wood burner kept the house lovely and warm, making it especially cosy in the evenings. The views of the lake were beautiful, and it was an easy, pleasant walk down to the waterfront. The bach was well equipped with everything we needed and was clean and tidy throughout. We'd happily stay here again.

The house was lovely and warm with the fire going. We did run out of hot water after two guests had showers using one upstairs and one by laundry. Would have been good to be aware.
