This property is a gem and is just a few meters walk past the main house to the lake edge. Upstairs there is a huge opening window giving a beautiful peaceful view of the lake. The facilities are 'top notch', sparkling clean, dust free and the bed is very very comfy. Susan's personal touches, flowers, fine range of teas and coffee, etc etc are topped off with her delicious home-made cookies and muesli. She even brought over a clothes drying rack when she noticed we wanted to dry our swim-wear. We could not fault our stay here. (Just an after thought - if you are a little disabled or age doesn't allow you to comfortably climb a steep set of stairs to the loft, then this may not be a good choice for you. Also keep in mind the note regarding unsuitability for children under 12, due to the closeness of the lake) Other than that, we highly recommend staying at Susan and Nigels 'Loft by the Lake". We will return when the stresses of life call for peace and quiet.
