Lady Of The Lake Reviews

Absolutely wonderful stay. Lady on The Lake was a stunning location, so peaceful if youre looking to get away.
We had a lovely time at this beautiful and unique property. We particularly enjoyed the lake views and attendant wildlife. A perfect place to stay if you're looking to get away from it all!
Sandra
Absolutely magical place, we stayed for our anniversary weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Definitely has the wow factor. The downstairs bedroom is huge with a massive comfy bed, it overlooks the part of a boathouse that the boat would be stored in and as such is very close to the water so irs almost like sleeping on a boat, if you don't like the sound of water bring earplugs as it can get quite noisy when there's a wind but it's also very therapeutic. The upstairs lounge has amazing views from three sides and you can just sit and stare for hours. The walk around the lake, if done briskly, takes just over two hours and is a nice picturesque walk. There us a cafe just a five minute walk away at the sailing club, if you can drag yourself away from the balcony where we sat watching boats sail past for hours. Would we stay again? YES, in a heartbeat. It's the nicest and most relaxing place we have stayed.
Philip
Beautiful property with stunning views.
Absolutely perfect! Superior accommodatio in beautiful location. Nothing whatsoever to fault! Highly recommend.
A unique property, comfortable and well presented. Wonderful views of the lake from every window. We had a very relaxing stay. Hot tub and gardens a real bonus. Good dog walks around the lake. A fridge in the outside utility room would be useful when dining outside. A truly wonderful experience.
Sharon
A beautiful and unique property in a wonderful location. Cottage is comfy and warm. The open fire is an added treat. Views are wonderful and the country walks are accessible and interesting. If you are a nature enthusiast, a photographer or love fishing sailing this place is for you. A very relaxing place.

Thank you for a wonderful stay! The property was decorated beautifully for Christmas and all the extra touches such as the prosecco and milk, were lovely thank you! The location is excellent for exploring the surrounding area and an enjoyable walk around the lake. Beautiful surroundings and very peaceful... we would definitely return!
This is a lovely property, well maintained and exactly as described. Gret nights sleeps thanks to high quality bedding and comfortable beds. If I were to change anything that would be down to my own quirky personality as everything that we needed was supplied! The hot tub was spot on and added to the pleasure of the stay. Very highly recommended and we would happily return.
