Fantastic Easter Lunch

I’ve been to Lakeview Manor for Sunday Easter, friends brought me there. What a beautiful place, we had Sunday roast which was fantastic, service friendly and attentive, food was delicious, we had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, which was very nice. The dessert was very tasty.

5 Star Venue

Just had a 3 night stay at Lakeview Manor. Everything was perfect. Location, gardens, accommodation, food was amazing. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. I can definitely recommend it and I will be returning for a few more relaxing days.
