Lynne the owner was lovely, very friendly and extremely helpful.Undercover parking for the car was a suprise and the was also a space with electric hook up for the mobility scooter. Our cockerpoo Rosie soon made friends with Bailey and Watson the spaniels.The only downside was the shower room was the other side of the lodge to the bedroom which was a bit awkward for my disabled wife at night.
