The atmosphere at Nab Cottage is easy going and most of our guests enjoy spending time inside; chatting by the blazing fire, reading at the window seats which overlook the lake, watching a film in the old opium room, playing the piano, poring over maps and enjoying our homemade bread and a long breakfast.
