Do I have to clean the log cabin for the next visitors arriving?
Although our cabins are thoroughly cleaned before guests arrive, we would ask that you leave the property clean and tidy. Alternatively you can book an additional cleaning service which will get this done on your behalf.
Is car parking provided?
Yes, there are two large car parking spaces right next to your cabin.
What else do you provide in the cabins?
Each cabin contains cleaning detergents and products, as well as kitchen roll and toilet paper. We provide a small starter set of coffees, teas and milk, so you can have a drink when you arrive. Also salt and pepper are provided. We also include hand soap.
Do you accept pets?
Unfortunately not, due to other guests allergies and the temptation of the lake outside!
Do all the cabins have hot tubs?
Yes, each of our lodges has its own private hot tub situated on the private patio to the side of the cabin looking onto the lake. Hot tubs are available for use all year round.
Do you provide towels and bed linen.
All towels, linen and bath robes are provided and included in the cost of your escape. If you stay more than a week, we provide new ones half way through.
Do you have internet access?
