Whitegates Lodge was by far the best regarding all requirements to make our stay enjoyable - comfortable, clean, well equipped, well maintained and spacious.

So clean that it felt brand new. The kitchen was lovely with everything you could need. It was very comfortable to stay in. Lovely patio doors to allow you to get to the outdoor space easily. A lovely outlook on to grass and an attractive drive. Comfortable patio furniture and a picnic table made sitting outdoors an easy option. It is completely private. We were welcomed with a thoughtful hamper of treats for our stay. We had forgotten our picnic rug but they even had one of those for our use. We couldnât fault anything.

The accommodation was the best equipped we have ever stayed in, Mandy and Paul have thought of everything, including a fan, which was definitely needed. We did bring our own too so we able to have one in each bedroom. Great outdoor space which the children enjoyed and the patio furniture was a welcome addition on the warm nights. I don't know if it's possible but it may help others if you list what extra's are in the property? I brought a hairdryer but it wasn't needed. Thank you for goodies, they were a lovely surprise
