While the lake is accessible by car, it can get very slippery in winter, so it is recommended that you walk down during the wetter months. Please note there are several CCTV cameras at the property. However, they are for surveillance purposes, when the property is vacant, only. Therefore, these will NOT be switched on during your stay.
