Comfort Cottage
We just loved this cottage and it was beautifully appointed with everything anyone could need. A perfect position, with a view over the lake and the walking track right out the back. Very warm and cosy for a gorgeous winter getaway. I would highly recommend it and we plan to go back again when the weather warms up.

Perfect for a weekend getaway
I’ve stayed at this property 3 times now. Twice with a group of friends and once with my partner. Each time I visit the cottage I have an amazing time. It is beautifully furnished and backs onto the lake. I couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s only a short walk to the town centre where there are plenty of great restaurants and cafes. I can not rate Waterside Cottage highly enough!

Lovely property with stunning view from the deck of the lake. Well appointed kitchen and the most comfortable lounges I have ever sat on! If your 6'3 like me just watch out for the door way to the kitchen, cracked my head a few times! Tony was great to deal with also
