Lovely 2 weeks at Whatley Lodge. Hosts lovely & friendly, always on hand for any questions. Cottage is excellent, lots of room, very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. So many extras in this holiday cottage like the wonderful hot tub, utility with washing machine and space to hang coats, bags ets, TVs in every room, WiFi that always worked, dressing room, dishwasher etc. So much to see and do in the surrounding area. Highly recommend and special mention for best Lisa’s Victoria Sponge cake - the best we’ve had … and we have had plenty.
