Janet the owner is a superb host and nothing is too much trouble for her, plus she really has the fishes welfare at heart and so this is a double plus for David. We love it so much that we are travelling down twice this year. See you in two weeks Janet.
Love Sonia and David x.

Just like to say thank you for being great hosts, and making our visit so enjoyable. For welcoming our dog Millie, it was so lovely having the camp field to ourselfs. Millie was in her eliment!
Loved it apart from the wind, which i did not like , was disapointed to go home a couple of days early due to the weather! Will be back the last week in September, Ian loved the fishing!
The lakes are so lovely, alot of hard work gone into your place, it really was a pleasure to stay.
Thank you
Jackie & Ian xx
