We stay in the lodge for most of the time and cook our own food as everything you need is available, Love everything about it. I would add some constructive criticism that the deck area would benefit from a good clean down along with the glass with a jet wash and that a light by the hot tub would be great. Also the frying pans has lost all the non stick and could do with replacing. Other than those minor things everything is perfect and we will more than likely be returning next year for our 3rd year. Also thanks to Sally and the team for emailing all the information we require and knowing she's there if any problems occur.

Sally and the team had surprised us with balloons and a bottle of Prosecco which was wonderful. The heating was on in the property which was great to walk in to. Lovely and spacious with the added bonus of the hot tub! Only downside was it went too quick.
