Sara M
Had a superb stay at Oak Lodge. Hospitality, location, comfort - everything was perfect for what we wanted. We were looking for quality time as a family, 2 members of the family are late 80s and one is in a wheelchair - and the lodge was perfect for this. The lounge and garden is very dog friendly. Dogs not allowed in bedrooms, but ours are used to that anyway - plus why ruin the cleanliness? (Our dogs were filthy after some of the walks as they loved them so much!) . The bedrooms are beautiful with very comfy beds and both bedrooms have a en-suite. The hosts are lovely and nothing is too much trouble - there’s the cutest on site dog too! Short and longer dog walks are on the doorstep. The lodge is disabled and wheelchair friendly. Plenty of kitchen bits and bobs to use - we cooked every night and had everything we needed.I had to carry out some work one day while we were there and the internet was great. Fast and reliable. We cannot fault anything and there is nothing we would change. We are already talking about our next visit and may rent the other onsite lodge to bring more family members. Thank you to the lovely hosts.Highly recommended **
