We had a brilliant time at Lake View Lodges, the weather was perfect, which helped, and the Lodge was everything we could have wanted. The site was lovely and peaceful, yet near enough to the main road that it was easy to get to wherever you wanted. We've stayed in many cottages all over the UK and this was by far the cleanest one, and had everything that you needed (thank you Lake View Girls). I would recommend a meal at the Bricklayers Arms (Old Leake), the food is gorgeous and the carvery out of this world (you need to book for the carvery). Another pub I'd recommend is the Malcolm Arms (Anton's Gowt) the food is good and they serve it at lunchtimes (except for Mondays) which a lot of the local pubs don't, even if their websites say that they do! Would definitely love to go again.
