We loved everything about North Farm Lodge, so much so we have booked again next year! The wildlife coming into the garden was a delight to see! We were suffering with colds/man flu sadly whilst there but staying in and relaxing and enjoying the property and garden for a couple of days was definitely no hardship. Highly recommend this place to other would be guests.
