The Haven is a lovely cosy cabin, my husband myself and our littke yorkie had a lovely stay. Melanie is a lovely host. It was spotless and we were spoilt with some lovely things left for us which having travelled from Scotland, were really appreciated. The place is well equipped and in a great location. Thank you very much x

Pleasant accommodation with contemporary decor. Comfortable bed, hot shower. However, bathroom becomes covered in condensation when using shower and takes a long time to clear. Shower tray fills like a bath and takes a long while to drain away. Kitchen was enough for our needs but would benefit from a few more items like microwave containers and splatter guard, plate and cutlery drainer. Also, more comprehensive information about local area: things to do, places to go etc. And instructions for appliances.Great to have small enclosed garden for dogs but being just off the main road made it very noisy with thunderous lorries frequently passing. If you don’t mind the noise then you’ll be ok but personally wouldn’t return.

A nice comfortable relaxing stay, in a very nice lodge, with very secure garden for our dog.The Lodge had everything you would need and a pub within 5 minutes stroll, accessed by a gate and walk across well kept field, so no need to walk dog on the main road.We celebrated our anniversary and wife's birthday while we were there and was nice to chill in the lovely garden.
