Lovely, cosy home in a perfect central location. It’s only a five to ten minute walk to the shops, high street and Bowness Bay, yet the house is tucked away in its own quaint and beautiful surroundings. Sitting by the balcony window, watching the mountains and lake, was such a joy. We also really appreciated having a private garage so we could park safely on site.The only slight issues were with the hot water and the internet. The hot water seemed to run out quite quickly, likely due to a tank system, so there wasn’t enough for a bath. The showers were fine, though the water flow wasn’t very strong. The internet speed could also be improved, and we lost connection on the last day for reasons unknown.Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, lots beautiful places to visit nearby. Thank you.
