Lakeside Apartment

We had the pleasure of spending the last night of our road trip in a Lakeside Apartment at The Lakes by Yoo; these luxurious apartments boast 3 bedrooms, lakeside views from a private balcony, a large soaking bathtub, superking bed (two of the bedrooms offer twins which can be made up as a superking or two singles) and a fully equipped kitchen.

As there was only the two of us we had our choice of bedrooms; we opted for the bedroom with the lakeview as it was a magical view to wake up to!

Dinner at Elsa’s

Grab a bite to eat at Elsa’s; The Lakes casual dining offering complete with outdoor seating area, log fires and stunning views of the lake. The rustic yet luxe decor will have you feeling cosy and at home in no time, food is served by renowned chef Alex Nutt (we had the pleasure of dining with Alex and thoroughly enjoyed our evening & his wonderful company).
