Went for swimming pool. Water warm but it was like swimming in an underground car park. No windows and low ceiling

We stayed at the shed and breakfast. It's a little hut on stilts with a very comfortable bed with tea and coffee making facilities. It has a lovely view of the lake that is perfect to relax. The room was spotless, clean and tidy with lanten lights over the mirror that add to feel. In fact the whole place/hotel very very clean and tidy. There is a swimming pool and hot tub that you can use that again is very well maintained and you can hire this by the hour. We booked an evening meal in the restaurant. It was good home cooked food that didn't take long to arrive and was perfectly presented.

What a little gem. Room was great, clean and very well thought out. Grounds maintained superbly, had dinner and breakfast. Enjoyed both thoroughly. Highly recommend the chocolate brownie, it was a delight. And an evening stroll around the lake was a great way to end the day. Would i stay again - Yes. Would a recommend - Yes.
