Yvonne Potter, on 2023-11-09

The place stands in a lovely setting near a beautiful lake. It was hard to find in the dark and entrance to drive has no lighting. The place is basic like a shed but it was just what we wanted for the weekend. It had a kettle, fridge, and microwave. Place needed cleaning as we arrived but was sorted out for us straight away. Great communication from host, answers straight away.

Place was easy enough to find, and the location is beautiful. Bring bug spray though - it's right next to a pond, and the place had a bunch of bugs when we arrived. Also only use the shower at low pressure, because the tank isn't very big
