+ We’ve just returned from the most incredible stay at Lakeview Lodges, and I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly by Mark and Stacy, the most thoughtful and accommodating hosts you could wish for. Their attention to detail, kindness, and genuine passion for making every guest feel special truly made our stay unforgettable. Traveling with four children can sometimes be a challenge, but not here – our kids were in absolute heaven! The facilities were spot on: safe, clean, and packed with things to keep them entertained for hours. But the real highlight for all of us was the stunning lake. The kids spent every spare moment by the water – exploring, fishing, paddle boarding, and enjoying the peaceful beauty of the surroundings. It felt like we’d found a hidden slice of paradise. The lodge itself was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for a family of six. Every little touch had been thought through, from cozy bedding to the layout that gave everyone their own space without feeling crowded. We honestly didn’t want to leave – and we’re already planning our return. A huge thank you again to Mark and Stacy for creating such a magical place, my little one hasn’t stopped talking about his new best friend ‘Mark’ SO sweet!
− Nothing, it was perfect!

+ We had such a wonderful stay at Lake View Lodges! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Mark, the incredibly kind and talented owner who built the lodge himself — and it shows in every beautiful, handcrafted detail. The craftsmanship and care put into the lodge made it feel both luxurious and cosy, a true home away from home. The surroundings were nothing short of breathtaking. The lake and the stunning scenery created the perfect peaceful escape, ideal for morning coffees on the balcony and sunset strolls. We also absolutely loved meeting the adorable goats and friendly dogs on the property — such a unique and wholesome touch that added to the charm of the entire experience. If you're looking for a tranquil retreat in nature with all the comforts of a thoughtfully built lodge and the hospitality of a genuinely lovely host, this is the place. Thank you, Mark, for making our stay so special — we’ll be back!

+ Such a great visit! Lovely hosts. Went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Mark literally went out of his way, and very kindly dropped us in the local village when we needed a lift. Really nice people and couldn't have asked for more from them. The accommodation was first rate with everything you could want. Quiet, peaceful and with lovely views of their lake and the surrounding countryside. Lots to do in surrounding areas too, including several local historic villages. Mark is very knowledgeable about the local history and there are also bikes on site that you can use to explore!
