Lakeside Cottage is a stunning property with a lovely outlook over small lakes. The owner was friendly and gave us useful local recommendations of places to eat and visit. There was a welcome pack of milk, bread, butter, teabags and coffee on arrival which was thoughtful. The cottage is down a narrow, bumpy lane so be sure to take a torch if venturing into the village after dark. It was very peaceful and relaxing break in a really beautiful property. ##### Coral ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [5 Star Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/5Star-Winnipeg-Hotels.s50-0-d6141041.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort & Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Lady-Hamilton-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2057715.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Canada Life Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Canada-Life-Centre-Hotels.0-l6200972-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [BodyHoliday - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Gros-Islet-Hotels-BodyHoliday.h66862640.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels near U.S. Virgin Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-US-Virgin-Islands-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d186-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Maya Colonial - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Xpu-Ha-Hotels-Barcelo-Maya-Colonial-All-Inclusive.h1348113.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Archer Hotel New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Archer-Hotel-New-York.h6763732.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air Transat](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Transat-Flights.cTS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/pvr/vancouver-to-puerto-vallarta) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/yyc/hamilton-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lax/vancouver-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Bellingham (BLI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bli/vancouver-to-bellingham) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Oslo (OSL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/osl/montreal-to-oslo) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver-Intl.d5396057.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Banff Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff.d10550.Destination-Travel-Guides)
