“The grounds are quite something, particularly the delightful outdoor space where children can enjoy the company of a resident donkey. Inside, the cottages feel like a well-loved home, thoughtfully decorated with charming touches and equipped with everything you might need, including exceptionally comfortable beds and good heating. The tranquil location with lake views adds a real sense of escape.”
