We read the reviews. It sounded great. We rang and there was availability. And the price sounded fair. And then we mentioned the 'b' word. Despite availability they didn't want us, our 11 mth old or our money. Very frustrating.

We recently stayed at Meadowlake and we were completely delighted by every aspect of this charming B & B.

The rooms are large and beautifully appointed. The décor is stunning and the art works both in our room and in the common areas added lots of colour and interest.
Diana and Peter have thought of everything, right down to the specialty tea in our room to the turn down service at night.

The meals at Meadowlake are fantastic. Afternoon tea, pre dinner drinks and a three course breakfast is all included. I had the herbed omelet and it was delicious. Light and fluffy and full of flavour, it was without a doubt the best omelet I’ve ever had.

I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone seeking a romantic break or just an escape from their everyday life. My husband and I came away completely relaxed and rejuvenated!

It was pouring when we finally found our way into Meadowlake after a long winding road in the outskirts of Milton. We forgot to book a dinner at the lodge and were not looking forward to driving into Milton in the thunderstorm. But Diana and Peter took the initiative to kindly offer dinner, and what a fantastic meal it was. we started with roasted pumpkin soup, followed by lamb chops and finished it with a lemon souffle. I tested their patience with a plea of a well=done lamb. it took longer than the others who tucked in their dish, but when mine came, the lambs were sooo yummy and tender, I finished at the same time as the others! It was rather quaint to sit with another couple we had just met, but our conversations were very enjoyable, to my surprise given my reticent nature. It was perhaps the Meadowlake atmosphere - part friendly, part sociable, part cosy and part homely. The B&B was very comfortable,with a beautiful view of the lake. I longed to sit there with a book but couldn't because of the rain. The room was spacious and cosy and so well kept that we couldn't believe that the lodge has been unchanged for the last 7-8 years. We were sad we stayed a night (transit station to the south coast) but the breakfast was a tremendous send-off. Very deserved of the 5-stars without the arrogance and pretentiousness and impersonal approach of many 5-star or super-luxury hotels.
