This place has been just perfect to spend two nights together with my wife for our first wedding anniversary. The location is stunning and from the house you have a breathtaking view of the lake. Furthermore, we had a special treatment just because it was our anniversary, John and Carmel are very kind and happy to have guests. They asked us what we preferred for breakfast and everything was arranged with lovely care. We stayed in the master suite and was really worth it. The room is wonderful and the bed was very comfortable. We have been very lucky to discover this place and will come back soon.

My husband and I were on our honeymoon when we came across this STUNNING bed and breakfast. We had such a lovely experience! We still reflect on the hospitality, coziness and overall perfect stay we had at the lodge. We couldn't recommend this b&b highly enough! The house is immaculate and Carmel is the sweetest, she will make you feel right at home. You will not be disappointed!!
Stayed in Lake view after wedding with my husband and daughter. Beautiful place and very friendly couple John and Carmel. Stayed one night in the master suite beautiful. Special little treat for mothers day at breakfast nice touch. Would recommend to anyone.
