Quarry Lodge is in a picture postcard setting. It was immaculate, well appointed and the owners very helpful and friendly. Its location was excellent for visiting a variety of attractions. The only, minor, drawback was the very narrow road you had to navigate in order to gain access to the lodge. However it was ok once you knew about it and it didn’t detract from the holiday at all. It is within walking distance of a small village with a pub, small shop and a little farther away a good farm shop and cafe.

A great location for us to visit family. The bungalow was clean and comfortable. It is in the beautiful grounds of the owners house who are friendly but respect ones privacy. We'd be happy to return and probably will.
