If the weather's nice, pack some artisan treats from your in-room larder for a scenic lakeside grazing platter picnic or make use of the complimentary row-boats. Alternatively, unwind by the fire in one of the lodge lounges with a drink from the honesty bar and a good book. Tonight's long table Shorehouse dinner is sure to impress yet again.
