The beds in all rooms are incredibly uncomfortable. The kettle died whilst we were staying however this was quickly rectified by the owners and a new one was provided the same day. Under the beds do not get cleaned, there is a thick layer of dust under the beds. Kitchen is very well equip for your needs in the stay and the sofa is comfortable for a cosy evening in. The property itself stays very warm and feels cosy of an evening. The main bathroom could do with a shower stand attached to the wall instead of it being a hand held shower head.

The chalet was lovely and clean, and it has all the utensils you need for cooking. The lodge is in a perfect spot for the entertainment complex, and the lakeside. Thank you for having us.
