Lovely relaxing cabin - perfect for a short getaway. It was great to just sit by the lake and enjoy watching the wildlife. Our dog loved swimming every day. A big thank you to our thoughtful hosts - we would happily stay again.

Lovely peaceful and beautiful setting. No traffic noise or other people, which was brilliant. Just what we wanted for a relaxing week away. We had planned on visiting places around the area, but once we got there we just wanted to stay and enjoy what we had. No TV no radio for the whole week, (although it is available if wanted!) Just spent our time looking at the veiw and watching the wildlife. Pure bliss.
