A Lovely bach for family!

We had a lovely stay at Rick's bach, it was very clean, had everything our family needed, the kids really enjoyed the garden and tram, and the grown ups enjoyed the spa pool. The washing machine and dryer were very handy when you are travelling with children. It was so close to the lake we enjoyed walks everyday!

Great hot tub and trampoline combo

We wanted a base to combine relaxing and exploring and this was it. Board games, hot tub, trampoline and good local food options, then out for horse riding, galleries, trout fishing for the kids, a spot of shopping . . . perfect!

Ideal hideaway for the family to reconnect

The facilities and location were perfect for the whole family to reconnect. The lake was within walking distance for a quick swim. We found the courtyard, spa pool and sky TV were ideal for relaxing and catching up.
