The apartment is fabulous, very comfortable and in a great location. The verandah is a wonderful place to relax whatever the weather. There were two or three small issues a couple of stains in carpets that we noticed when we arrived and a stool that collapsed and I tried to report these twice by calling Lakelovers which is actually Sykes. The hold time was over 10 minutes so I whats apped instead. So far no reply. So whilst the property is excellent, the letting agent to date has not been responsive.

Our third visit to Muirhead was really comfortable and welcoming. We love staying there ! The location is great for walks and also the local town Booths supermarket. Note to any returners so you can plan there is no coffee maker just now
