I'd start with the location, which is great and the woods around the house, and lovely lake is a heaven! Already driving in through the woods is beautiful. Kids loved the long swings outside , hanging on the tree and we all loved the motor boat that we could use during our stay paying only for the petrol! Simon was helpful, even though we arrived early he was ok with it and he didn't rush us to leave either. Communication with him was very good too. For all of this I'd give 5 stars. But the accommodation wasn't what we were expected. We didn't expect luxury and don't need it. But the house was very dirty and kind of messy. Things that shouldnt be there or were too old (like cushions with holes in it, wellies, toothbrushes...)all would need a good "spring" cleaning as the whole cottage was not cleaned for a while. And then it would look much better! Also I'd suggest a nicer sitting for outside. Bigger with a table as there is only a bench with old blankets on it. Thank you.
