We had a very enjoyable four days at Leveret Lodge. The lodge was clean, comfortable and very well designed. If you want somewhere quiet and isolated, this is ideal. Many interesting places to see and enjoy within easy driving distance. Good value for money compared to other properties advertised online. The only downside was that the fan oven wasn't working but that gave us the opportunity to enjoy meals at the local pub in Bures. We would recommend Leveret Lodge.
