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.
