Jon Kelly
Gorgeously peaceful lodge in a wooded valley surrounded by trees, bushes and plenty of birds. Be aware there are no facilities in the park, nor any wifi in the lodge. Fine by me. Also follow the directions given by owners, not your sat nav, the road in they recommend is not great as some bad pot holes, but the other road in is terrible and tad scary to drive on. The lodge was huge, clean and comfortable and a fair price as well. Only feedback was torch didnt work, which was only a problem as outside light didnt work! Also the recliner chair was a bit rickety. If you want a real break from modern life and don't mind a drive to get supplies, this is a wonderful location.
