"FANTASTIC spacious house. 13 of us aged from 9 months to 70 years old. Great for each bedroom to have its own bathroom and our teenagers enjoyed having some space to themselves.

We can recommend Villa Positano (Italian restaurant) - staff were great, food really lovely, great atmosphere - and the Albert pub; we booked early for 13 of us for Sunday lunch - great food and service.

Paddleboarding on the Lake and a picnic on Saturday and a boat trip on Sunday :)

Thanks Steve for brilliant communication during booking and answering all my queries.

I would definitely recommend the Boundary!"
