Many happy visitors have enjoyed their log cabin holiday with us. Below are just a few of the great comments our guests have sent to us..
Dear Mr. Edmondson,
Thank you for your e-mail in acknowledgement of our booking.
My Wife and I are very much looking forward to returning to Monty's Retreat, we had such a lovely, relaxing time last year and you made us feel so welcome.
See you in November !
Kind regards

Hi Anthony,
I know we wrote in your visitor’s book, but I wanted to tell you again how much we enjoyed the Elsa cabin. It was absolutely perfect and we could tell a lot of planning and hard work must have gone into making it so beautiful. Even down to the tiny details such as the chairs on the pier, the antique scales in the bathroom or the log fire just ready to be lit when we arrived! Stunning.
We’ve already begun planning our next visit in the summer and we’re keen to learn more about the island because it looked like paradise!
Thank you once again. We can now go back to work with clear minds!
Kind regards,
Alex
Dear Anthony and Felicity
I've been meaning to get in touch to thank you so so much for the wonderful stay we all had at Moondara. It is such an incredible house and location that we all made a pact to make it an annual thing as we had such a fantastic weekend. The weather was very good to us, especially with it being October, and I have to say I think it's probably the nicest time to stay in the log house as the light and scenery, with the leaves just turning, was spectacular.
Many many thanks
Chloe Brown
Dear Anthony
Just to thank you for the great week we had at Monty's Retreat we could not wish for a lovely week with the weather and the cabin, it also made such a big difference to go somewhere where the dogs were welcome and not restricted to being on their leads.
So thanks again and we hope to be back soon
Best regards

Hi Anthony
Simon and I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the wonderful break we enjoyed this past week staying in 'Elsa'.
We came back more refreshed than I can remember in a long time. The accommodation was very well equipped and the whole set up was perfect for us - especially the hot tub which we have missed since our return home - if only we had the room!
I am sure you will be seeing us again before too long.
Kind regards and thanks to you both.

Hi Anthony, we have just returned home from our fantastic break in the Moondara Lodge.
The pictures just do not do it justice, we were speechless when we arrived on Monday and sad to leave on Friday.
It was very nice to see the level of finish you have installed into the lodge, you could have just put in a normal bath but you decided for a roll top, the dishwasher too - brilliant.
We have stayed in many different cottages and houses around the UK and without a doubt your lodge was the best by a country mile.
We really enjoyed the lake and the fishing was so relaxing, the kids enjoyed themselves, they enjoyed the cycle ride around the grounds and the wildlife.
I am going to book a smaller lodge soon for my mum and dads 50th wedding anniversary in May 2010 and we will definately return next year for the summer and if possible for christmas 2010.
We will be in touch soon, many many thanks

We’ve just returned home from Island Lodge, and it was very hard to
leave! The environment you have created is really special. The way the
lodges are sited really makes you feel the lake is your own private
space. Even the two teenage boys started to relax after a couple of days!
Thanks

Hi Anthony
Just wanted to let you know what a lovely time the four of us (and
Nellie the dog) had whilst staying at Monty’s Retreat this weekend.
The cabin was beautiful and the setting was so tranquil and the sunset
stunning. We all felt so relaxed and we also celebrated Simon’s 31st
birthday with a little barbecue on the veranda! The boys were obsessed
with the rowing boat and we all thought this was a really nice touch. We
loved the fresh smell of the wood in the cabin and this was the first
thing we noticed when we arrived, along with how lovely and spotlessly
clean the cabin was! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weekend.
It’s a shame that we couldn’t have stayed for the rest of the week but I
don’t think our employers would have been too amused, especially as Emma
and Adam had only just returned from a two week holiday in Cuba!
Anyway, we will without a doubt be back and we have recommended Log
House Holidays to all our friends and family so I am sure you will get a
few bookings out of them! They were all very impressed when we showed
them our photos and a few of them have been on your website and are very
impressed with that too!
Looking forward to seeing you again!
Love Gemma, Simon, Emma, Adam and Nellie xx
Anthony & Family
I would just like to say a great big Thank you for the lovely time we had at the Moondara Lodge, it was absolutely amazing and my Mam cried when we pulled up outside. She stated that she has found a magical place for the family and dog to come on holiday! Our Boxer dog (George) loved it so much, he swam in the water and every time the door opened he would quickly run out, just so he could be outside. When we got him home he slept solid for 2 days. Everyone was sad to leave as this was a great experience for us all. We are already making plans to return. We cleaned the place before we left as that was our way to say thank you for the lovely holiday we had.
Hope we left everything how we found it.
Thanks again.
See you soon!

Hi Anthony,
I just thought you might be interested to know that I have submitted some photographs into a competition that were taken on our recent visit to the Moondara Log Cabin (2nd – 5th February weekend).
We got such lovely photos of the lake that weekend that I wanted to share them with others. I just thought you might like to have a look, and see the results of your hard work in all their glory.
I also wanted to thank you for a lovely weekend. We all absolutely loved the log cabin and what you have accomplished is amazing.
We are planning to return very soon!
Kind Regards

Hi Anthony
Just a short note to tell you once again what a wonderful weekend we all had at Moondara. The house is nothing short of fantastic - it was a magical experience. Its not just the lovely building, but it is so tastefully finished off and furnished with lots of lovely little touches to make it feel homely. There was simply nothing else we could have asked for, and indeed there was everything we could have wanted and more. The house looks fabulous on the website, but even that doesn't do it justice! I think I want to live there......!
We also enjoyed the lovely walk around the lake, and all the different kinds of wildlife we saw. Who needs tv! The swans kept us entertained all Sunday afternoon. I've passed on the information about Island Lodge to two lots of people who are interested in it, but I don't know whether I should tell anyone about Moondara or we may not be able to come back because it will be fully booked!
We would have loved to have been able to stay longer, but duty calls. However, it was a lovely way to end our celebrations for Peter's 60th birthday which seems to have gone on for weeks. I couldn't think of a nicer venue, and it all went so well, if far too quickly.
I just hope the people in Island Lodge didn't hear us singing on Saturday night, although I suspect we disturbed the local wildlife. So thank you again for the tremendous work you have done to make the whole area so beautiful and well kept, and for Moondara - which I think will become a special retreat for us for many years to come (I hope!).
We have booked to travel to Italy and France this year, plus a quick visit to Cornwall to visit family there, so we will probably not be able to return until next year.
Thank you again, and all good wishes.
Kind regards
Susan and Peter Jones and friends
I didn't get chance to thankyou for a lovely holiday, It was brilliant! i speak for all who stayed at Moondara that it was the best holiday we have ever had.
We were all so chilled out the whole party have really stressful jobs one being my brother in law who has recently just come back from Afghanistan and found it so Beautiful and peaceful, The Cabin was so well equipt with everything we needed.
We all enjoyed it so much that we had to book for next year. 1 Week was definitely not enough so as I said on the telephone if the week before comes up please slot us in as we would love to come for 2 weeks.
Kind Regards

Hi Anthony
Just wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed our stay at Moondara last weekend. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves from the youngest aged 11 to the oldest aged 76. The dogs had a great time, my Mini Schnauzer learnt to swim in the lake and is still exhausted from her action packed weekend!! We hope to make a visit to Moondara a regular annual event and look forward to our next stay.
Kind regards
Tina
Well what can I say?!?!?! We have just returned home from our 1st and much needed break @ Island Lodge. I can promise it will NOT be our last!! I could never have imagined such a wonderful place could really exist. The lodge is everything we could have imagined and more then we could ever have dreamed. It really is heaven on earth!!
Both me my husband and Freddie our 18 month old son have enjoyed every moment! Freddie is especially missing the ducks!! I however am missing the breath taking views across the lake and the clam a peace it brings!!
I have already found myself checking availability for next year as we would like to bring the whole family and enjoy the Moondara’s delights.
Thank you so much for allowing us to experience the wonders @LHH and I am sorry our meeting was so brief. Hope to see you again very soon!!
The well rested and sad we are now home!!!
Cox family
We just wanted to email to thank you for a wonderful weekend at Island Lodge. We came back to London so relaxed and am sure will be returning to see the Lodge by winter in the future.
You have such a beautiful place there and we felt thoroughly at home - the boat made it for us and the abundance of birds and wildlife had us entertained for hours!
Thanks so much - it was just what the Dr ordered
Kind regards

Hi Anthony
Thank you for letting us stay at monty's retreat everything was perfect and i really could not comment on anything, i think you have thought of everything. It was a very lovely place and we had a really great time.
It was also the perfect setting for me and Lindsey to get engaged.
Oh and the Fishing was superb!!
Thanks again and we would love to come back sometime.
David and Lindsey
Hi Anthony
We have just returned from the holiday - went from you straight up to our place in the Lakes.
We just wanted to say what a wonderful week we had at Elsa. It was nothing short of paradise!!! We have some lovely photos to show our friends - and I'm sure they will all want to come and see for themselves. We will definately be back soon.
Very many thanks Dawn
