Excellent and informative hosts and super clean property with excellent made to order and fresh breakfast.
We loved our stay! The home is a beautiful example of Arts and Crafts style. The garden is exquisite and the breakfast and food delicious, but the charm and hospitality comes most from the gracious and kind hosts! They made us feel like family or cherished friends. We loved our stay and would love to return! Thanks so much for making our stay wonderful!

Wonderful stay with wonderful hosts
We've just returned from a three night stay at the Lake View Guest House and miss it already. Stuart and Catherine were warm hosts and attentive to our every need, from a cup of tea and cake at check in, to the homemade gin and biscuits in the room, to the fantastic breakfast. They also provided great advice on where to eat and what to do in the surrounding area.The view from the room was spectacular. We can't wait to return!
