Excellent location beautifully set on a fishing lake. The Woodland opposite was lit up magically at night. The house we stayed in had the best views across the lake, and was large enough to cater for our party of 7guests for NYE. the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to host large buffets and a roast dinner. We loved that everyone had their own bathroom and shower, which meant no queuing or waiting!!
In our opinion the living room could be slightly more comfortable. The sofas were not pleasant to sit on and it felt quite cold and bare in there. What would help solve this is possibly a central rug and an upgrade on the furniture, and soft furnishings.
One blind was missing from the double bedroom en-suite.
The upstairs floorboards were extremely squeaky which meant that moving around the house quietly before others were awake was impossible.

Lovely property, with great facilities, but with several issues which, overall, spoilt the stay.
ALL of the floorboards throughout the property creak LOUDLY. Not so much of an issue during the day, but, at night, anyone staying up later than others, or anyone getting up during the night, would wake the entire household. The double bed is shockingly uncomfortable. The metal frame creaks with every movement, waking both sleepers, and the mattress has no edge support so one consciously spends the whole night trying not to fall out of bed. The shower in the ensuite to the room with the single, pullout, bed creates such a racket that it can be clearly heard in the double room. An early morning shower in the single ensuite means an early morning wake-up call for the sleepers in the double room. Overall, these issues spoilt our stay in what is, on the face of it, a beautiful property in a great location.
