gareth oddy
Very nice house, well appointed and warm. Very close to lake with some amazing views. No storage available in garage which would be useful if you are looking to safely store bikes or kayaks etc. Other than that great value for money.
Response from Owner
Hi Gareth- so glad you had a good stay. There is a key to the woodshed with the lockbox keys so guests can get extra dry wood if needed as well as lock their bikes etc in if needed. We keep the garage below locked though for our own bits and pieces. Sorry you missed that☺️. Thanks again for the booking!
