Cottage very nice, in need of a little TLC but clean. Lake view lovely and would have been lovely to have been able to sit out on the patio and take in the views and relax if there had been a parasol provided to stop us being blinded by the sunshine. Because of this lack of thought we had to sit inside curtains closed (thank goodness we had the foresight to bring our own fan) until the sun had gone behind the trees, so from about 7pm we were able to use the patio and could enjoy breakfast there as the sun was on the front of the building. We attempted to contact the owner to ask about a parasol but to-date she has not responded to the telephone message left on Monday 18 July. All the other properties on this site had got parasols available, obviously their owners had taken into account which way the property's patio faced, i.e. south/south. west, and shading would be needed for the summer months to be able to have the full experience of enjoying the lake views, not just because we had a "heat wave." This really spoilt our stay and would not feel inclined to rent this property again.
