Oak View is a delightful lodge overlooking a beautiful fishing lake. The setting is very peaceful and the vast grounds are well worth exploring. It is cosy and warm even without lighting the log burner. Everything we needed was available and Sainsburys was only a short walk away for provisions. The owner and his son are very friendly and helpful ifRead more you need anything. We've stayed twice so far this year and will be back again.
