The property is very spacious, comfortable, tidy, all modern appliances, etc. This to enabled us to be fully self contained. It was fully fenced, which was peace of mind for us to allow our energetic labradoodle outside space with minimal supervision. The close proximity to the lake and walks was fantastic. Thank you for a fabulous stay. We will be back.
