A lovely peaceful and rural location, lodge lovely and clean, though the hard wood floor through out presentated a cold and clinical appearance, carpet in the bedrooms and a nice size rug in the lounge area would have made the lodge more homely and welcoming. The biggest down side being the constant outburst of dog noise - why to dog owners think that everybody else wants to hear their dog barking - the lack of dog noise control is off putting for a re-book.
