Fabulous vacation
The property was outstanding, very clean and exactly as detailed. Everything we needed to make our stay perfect was in the property. Lovely decking area to the front and rear. The location is perfect, tennis, swimming pool and lakes were clean and easily accessible, we loved being in and in the lakes! There is so much to do in the surrounding area. We can honestly say that we will be returning.

Great stay - photos don't do it justice
Lovely property, photos really don't do it justice! The cottage has everything you need. The only downside we could find (and it really wasn't a big deal!) was that we couldn't get any TV channels, but there is Netflix available to use.
