The location was beautiful and was such a relaxing environment. Not a bad thing to say, 3 nights wasnât long enough we didnât want to come home. We will definitely be coming back.

Thank you so much for having us, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hot tub was fabulous and the beautiful countryside was so calming. IF we had to be super picky some of the photos of the outside could do with updating as unfortunately, there was no outdoor shower as in the pictures on the website. Would 100% recommend, the hosts were super lovely too, can't wait to be back!!!

It is a 'micro' lodge so be prepared for the lack of room, however, it is well equipped with crockery, utensils, tea towels, towels, washing up liquid, etc. There is a single cooking plate but would have been better getting rid of the useless breakfast bar and rejigging to fit in a proper hob. With this in mind you have to be organised with what you're doing for meals. The nearest shop is a drive away or eat out. The bed was comfortable, so looking at past reviews they have addressed this with a mattress topper. The hot tub is now fully enclosed and private, although they have given in to putting a roof over it which, for me, spoilt the experience of gazing up to the stars. My only real beef throughout the stay was the lack of WiFi, (there is wifi but you can't connect to it at all), not to sit endlessly on my phone, enjoyed the break from it, but to not have emergency contact with children if needed was a big negative.
