If peace, quiet, beauty and birdsong are your requirements for a holiday then look no further than Willow Lodge. Situated alone, overlooking a lake, it is our idea of paradise on earth. Sarah, our host, was lovely and we wanted for nothing as the lodge was well equipped with kitchenalia, wifi, telly and eggs from her chickens and honey from her bees.
