    Stay at Ambleside on the lake in Daylesford for beautiful lake views, peace and quiet, cosy accommodation and unobtrusive attention to detail by Linda and Frank. Interesting and tasty breakfasts are included. All this at very reasonable rates. There is so much to see and do without having to drive for hours. Daylesford is a foodies paradise and should not be missed.
