The lake is beautiful but no view from cabin 1 which is at the back of the park. It’s about a 5-10 minute stroll to the lake from the cabin. The amenities were clean but having works done with no signage or notification. The shared kitchen was clean and spacious.

Sheets are super duper clean. House is so tidy and has got everything you need. Kian is very friendly. Pre-warmed our house so we were so comfortable arrriving late at night in the middle of winter and pouring rain. Will definitely come back. Felt so safe. Bed super comfortable and well presented.
