Communication before the trip wasn’t the best - I had to ask a question a couple of times before it got answered and the replies seemed a bit abrupt which made me worry that our host wasn’t very friendly. However the stay itself was great - accommodation was as described, the lake and garden are lovely. The kitchen is well equipped and we were grateful for the little extras left for us. Lots of towels and a decent amount of space. A 20-30 minute drive to Manchester City Centre where our activities were.
