Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge receives high commendations for cleanliness, with numerous guests describing it as spotless and very clean. Only one mention of finding dirty socks suggests a rare oversight.
The location is frequently described as lovely, peaceful, and perfect for quiet retreats with beautiful surroundings and good local food. It is well-received for its tranquility and rural charm.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the lodge spacious, luxurious, and relaxing. The comfortable furnishings and the privacy of the lodges contribute to a restful experience.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub and generous hamper. However, some guests reported minor issues with maintenance such as the bathroom fan, electrics, and the front door, which slightly lowers the score.
The thoughtfulness of the welcome hamper and attention to detail are appreciated, though there are mixed feelings about the hamper's contents and the provision of toiletries. It should be noted that while gifts are mentioned, their inclusion is subject to change and not guaranteed.
