Our family had a very nice stay at this cottage. It is located 15 minutes away from North Beach and about 40 minutes away from Sandbanks. The house is clean and spacious. It has a huge backyard where we enjoyed great views esp. at sunset. The lake is beautiful with clear water, no seaweeds, shallow entry (good for kids), the bottom is a little rocky so water shoes are recommended. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, washer and dryer. It has all basic equipment and lots of dishes but needs more frying pans and a new kettle. Also it would be nice to have a bigger dining table with more chairs to accommodate parties of 7-8 people. I believe water is not drinkable in that area, it has a specific smell, so bringing your own drinkable water is a good idea. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and would definitely rent here again.
