Once again - still a fantastic, well appointed apartment which us & our dogs loved. Clean & warm with central heating and a luxurious deep bath! This was our 3rd time staying here & no doubt we'll return again!!

Lovely and quiet, fantastic for the dogs and really well set up so easy, clean comfortable. The only issue was the driveway in the rain barely made it up.
Hubby said he was glad humans could be welcome along with dogs! Very dog friendly.
Only issue was the steep driveway. Very slippy when wet. One fell over but didn't do to much damage to self. Otherwise a lovely relaxing stay and highly recommended
Perfect for a doogy stay. Fully secure yard. Blankets supplied for dogs. Close to wonderful dog walking areas around Acacia Bay.
The apartment had everything we needed. Beds were luxurious. Our only negative comment would have to be was that it could use a deep clean to rid of hanging cobwebs and dusty areas.
Would definitely stay again and recommend to dog friends.
The morning view over the lake was stunning as we ate breakfast outside.
