We visited Carol's Lakeside Cottage for a winter getaway. Carol met us on check-in and showed us into a cosy cottage, where she had already turned on the heater and laid out some baking and refreshments for us. What a super host! We were allowed to wander throughout the stunning gardens of the estate, which are varied and well maintained. We were even greeted by her adorable little corgi, Monty! By sunset, we settled into the rocking chairs outside the cottage, drinking wines overlooking the lake. Overall the location was perfect, secluded, and romantic. I'm hoping to visit again in summer!
