Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness scores are mixed. Several guests found the property clean and well-maintained, while others reported issues with cleanliness, including dog hairs and a dirty kitchen. The negative reviews seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, hence the above-average score.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with a private lake and proximity to local attractions. It's ideal for guests seeking a peaceful retreat and those with dogs, due to the surrounding woodland walks.
Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds and the cosy, warm atmosphere of the lodge. The property is also noted to be disabled-friendly, adding to the comfort for guests with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a fully equipped kitchen and a wet room. However, some guests noted the lack of Wi-Fi and issues with maintenance. The presence of a fishing lake and woodland walks add to the facilities' appeal.
There is insufficient information to score thoughtfulness accurately. While some guests mentioned a welcome basket and Christmas decorations, these are not consistently referenced across reviews to guarantee a score.

They live on site and are available if required but after a warm welcome they leave you to enjoy their wonderful facilities. We returned in November after enjoying our stay in the Summer and we have already booked to stay there again. We love it so much. What more can I say.
