Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A homely lakeside retreat, this two-storey home is an ideal base for a family who wants to be close to endless outdoor activities. What stood out to us was the deck – from breakfast to supper, you'll want to have all your meals alfresco here (weather permitting), overlooking the lake. In colder months, the fireplace and indoor dining table are nice touches, and the bedrooms are small but cosy. You can't grow bored here, either – the home provides access to the spa facilities in the nearby holiday park, along with its pools. There is also a wide selection of other recreational activities available for a fee – from bike rentals to paddle boarding.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

Home truths
This home is close to a holiday park, so may lack privacy at times.
Two dogs are welcome to join you on request. There is a stair gate downstairs to stop them from going upstairs.
The kitchen is quite small. We don't think it's suitable for larger meals.
We recommend bringing a car here. There's free parking for one car, and additional parking may be available for others. You can use the resort's EV chargers.
You'll have access to the nearby holiday park's pools, spa, steam room, gym and tennis courts here. They're shared with the park's other residents.
The outdoor pool is closed between the October half-term and Easter.
Guests can fish at some of the nearby lakes for free. You'll need to bring your own equipment.
