Lovely lodge, very comfortable and even though it is one of 5 it was very private. Great for the dogs and the hot tub was a real bonus! We had a very relaxing break and would definitely return.

The location of this lodge is idyllic, and there was everything you could possibly need in the lodge. The reason for my lower score, is that the property could really benefit from some TLC, the paintwork needs refreshing, carpets were dirty, and the 2nd bedroom the carpet was frayed at the door, the curtains throughout really need a wash.
