Beautiful house, peaceful lake and great hosts
We stayed to visit family nearby and found this gem on Ashford Lake and we’re not disappointed. The house is open and airy full of light with all the modern comforts of home (tech, GB Wi-Fi). The bedrooms were perfect and comfortable. The lake view is just stunning and peaceful. So nice to sit and drink coffee and watch the sunrise in the quiet. Can’t wait to come back to enjoy it this summer.
