Unfortunately as we visited in the middle of winter it was a bit chilly. Also not many facilities nearby as most closed for the winter. Had hoped to rent a kayak/ canoe and go on the lake. Oh well, wouldn’t stop me returning in the summer. ##### Adam Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [B&B Málaga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaga-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d312-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [B&B Knaresborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Knaresborough-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4670-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Roxy Hotel New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Roxy-Hotel-New-York.h454858.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Santa Maria Maior](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Maria-Maior-Hotels.d3000662134.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Monarch Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Addis-Ababa-Hotels-Monarch-Hotel.h7739003.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fairway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Fairway.h900741.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Grim's Dyke Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Grims-Dyke-Hotel.h517271.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Tenby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d182887-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Pen-y-Ghent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pen-Y-Ghent-Hotels.0-l6088173-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Samoa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Samoa.d155.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [All Saints Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-All-Saints-Hotel.h1410480.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Amsterdam Centre Stopera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Ibis-Amsterdam-Centre-Stopera.h483011.Hotel-Information) > > [IBC Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-IBC-HOTEL.h13335342.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Luton (LTN) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ltn/ams/london-to-amsterdam) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Brisbane (BNE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/bne/manchester-to-brisbane) > > [Flights from Harare (HRE) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hre/lhr/harare-to-london) > > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Reus (REU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/reu/east-midlands-to-reus) > > [Flights from Incheon (ICN) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/icn/man/seoul-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Exeter (EXT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/ext/newcastle-to-exeter) > > [British Airways London (LHR) to Dubai (DXB) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-heathrow-to-dubai-intl/ba/lhr/dxb) > > [Flights from Christchurch (BOH) to Florence (FLO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/boh/flo/bournemouth-to-florence) ### General > [Visit Warwick Town Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Warwick-Town-Centre.dx6224809) > > [Visit Yosemite Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-Village.dx6055783)
