Feels very private, lodges are well spaced apart, and a wooden fencing to give your privacy whilst in the hot tub! The lodge itself feels so cosy, as it was such a lovely touch with the little lights in the ceiling above the bed. We loved it! The hot tub was a perfect size for a coupe, however empty on arrival, therefore, we had to fill it up from the hose, it took a whole day/ evening and a lot of logs to heat it up to the right temperature, meaning we missed a day/ evening to be able to go in it :( We had to keep the fire going throughout the night, which means the next morning it was warm enough that it only took a hour to get it to the right temperature :) ! Once it was hot enough it was so lovely and relaxing and it held its heat in really well!! We loved it- even went in it in the rain! We loved our stay here and would recommend it to everyone whoâs looking for a quiet, calming, relaxing time away :) Would definitely come again!
