    Lovely lodge to stay in. Everything is good quality and it’s well appointed. Stargazer is a perfect romantic cosy place and good for older children( steep climb to upstairs bedroom) The location is fabulous! We sat and watched the birds and hare's! The only small issue was the hot tub, the poor thing is tired! It heats up well but due to the limescale the jets and bubbles weren’t all working. The owner is aware and will be replacing it, so all good for our next stay!!!Highly recommended!

    The hosts were really lovely and made us feel right at home. Their lodge was super quiet, which was exactly what we were hoping for. It was the perfect place to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it. It's a great spot for a peaceful getaway.
