We had such an amazing weekend here!!!
It was very clean, spotless and such a beautiful place to stay!
We felt at home from the moment we walked in.
We were also welcomed with cake and Prosecco too which was a lovely touch!
Organising the use of paddle boards was super easy! So helpful and responsive to anything we needed!
We spent hours on the lake it was so much fun and view from the balcony is stunning!
The jacuzzi was fab too!
A fabulous house in a perfect setting. We really enjoyed the comfortable, welcoming house and the lovely lakeside setting and hot tub. Would definitely recommend. The app was filled with great information and recommendations and we enjoyed a couple of the local restaurants - both within walking distance.
We loved at stay at Watersedge!
The place is exactly as images and had all the comforts and amenities for the stay. Great walks and pubs close by. We will definitely be back!! 🥳
