    stunning views
    beautiful garden
    cozy tv room
    bathroom accessibility

    The room was spotless with stunning views, and it was great to have coffee and biscuits waiting for us. Enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful garden and cozy TV room after a day of exploring. The only thing was that the bathroom was down a flight of stairs, but it wasn't a big deal. I’d definitely recommend it! 😊

    great stay but not perfect

    The hosts clearly went out of their way to enhance our experience. Their thoughtful touches, like the grab and go breakfast and the binoculars for lake views, made a noticeable difference.

    Check-in wasn’t as smooth as I expected.
