Confirmed Guest
Lovely lodge, great location and friendly and helpful staff.
Confirmed Guest
The lodge was spacious and clean inside although the carpet was a little worn. The TV was small for the size of the room and those sat on the settee to side of the TV had a limited view. The outside appeared unkempt and let the lodge down. It was full of cobwebs and bird poo and the grass was overgrown. On the plus side the beds were very comfortable and the showers were powerful and warm.
