Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the lodge to be spotlessly clean, with only a single report of dissatisfaction regarding cleanliness. This suggests that the property is generally well-maintained, although there may be occasional lapses.
The lodge's rural and peaceful location is appreciated by many guests, with its proximity to wildlife and scenic beauty. However, some noted the need for travel to access shops and pubs, which may not suit everyone's preferences.
Comfort is a recurring theme in the reviews, with guests mentioning the cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and warm welcome. The lodge seems to provide a relaxing environment for visitors.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and enclosed garden. However, there were reports of maintenance issues such as Wi-Fi problems and a lack of hot water, which affected the overall experience for some guests.
While many reviews express gratitude and appreciation for their stay, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The massive garden was ideal for our dog obi also the abundance of wildlife in it. We will definitely be returning in the future thank you.

The cabin has everything that a house usually has although it would have been a bit handy having a fan to use during the hot weather. The garden is perfect and the huskies loved it, very secure and safe and handy having clean fresh water on tap for them. Great location as 20 or so minutes from larger towns while still benefitting from the isolated feel from the surrounding countryside. Felt very comfortable and relaxed here. Highly recommended.
