John and Anne Wilde of Bristol also enjoyed the snow at Clowance and sent a lovely email on their return from a short break with a collection of beautiful photographs.

'My husband John and I have just returned from a short break at Clowance. We thought we had been transported over to Austria when we awoke to a beautiful covering of crystal white snow. After having breakfast we went for a walk around the magnificent grounds. The lodges looked amazing, we couldn't have had a prettier view anywhere. As we approached the lake the sun came out and added to the beautiful scene. It was quite magical.

Throughout our stay we were entertained by all the birds and squirrels, who were right outside our lodge. We counted eight different types of bird, but our favourites were the little robins.
 
We enjoyed our swimming sessions in the lovely warm pool, and even warmer jacuzzi. The restaurant provided us with some excellent meals, and the service was friendly and efficient.
 
Unfortunately, John wasn't able to have his game of golf, so we had brought his clubs, trolley, umbrella etc., in vain. Never mind. We are looking forward to our next visit at the end of June. Although we enjoyed the snow...we are hoping for a much warmer week then, when the clubs will be put to good use.'
