First impressions were that the place was spotlessly clean and welcoming . The bed we slept in was so very comfortable . We booked the lodge to take our dog and the enclosed garden was massive and a huge hit with her . Walking round the lake daily was delightful . The shower was bliss and the hot water was on demand so absolutely brilliant . If I had to recommend anything to change it would be to perhaps have another saucepan but we managed with what we had . Hopefully we will be back it was such a peaceful rest for us x
