Cannot think of a single thing that wasn't perfect about the place! Great weather obviously helped to make the visit pleasant but as soon as you walk into the property it feels amazing and remains that way. Well equipped and in a fantastic location.
The venue was perfect for our family get together and we fell in love with the mere and all its wildlife. We had a great time despite the wet weather.
