What an absolutely gem of a property! Water views from all sides of the living area and a gorgeous fire to keep you warm. House was spotless with everything you needed for a comfortable stag and more. Cathie was so friendly and responsive. We had a fabulous stay and already talking about heading back!! Extra touches on arrival like eggs, milk, bread etc were just so lovely. Thanks for an amazing weekend making family memories.
