This unique self catering place in the village of Lake Chrissie once constituted the village Jail. Today it offers an escape from city life and a prison record to be proud of.
The sandstone jail consists of two adjoining cells, the first cell was build in the previous century and cell 2 was added later. The accompanying police station, was destroyed in a fire, but it’s Charge office, a brick construction with traditional corrugated plate finishing still stands firmly, and offers a superb view of Lake Chrissie.
Indeed, the Jail of old has changed in character. Its two cells have been turned into comfortable and cosy bedrooms, without changing the original architecture of the Jail.
Establishment Type: Self-Catering
