Beautiful Lodge with stunning views all round. Lots of lovely walks. Lodge is very spacious, lots of light, comfy and cosy great views from all windows. Towels provided were very luxurious! Great to have WiFi access.Two enclosed garden spaces which were great for our little dog. Loved sitting on the balcony off the bedroom watching the golfers.Bonus having two bathrooms. Beds really comy. Nice and warm.Very peaceful at night, had best night's sleeps for ages.Definitely want to return

The property is well situated right on the coast and ideal location for coastal walks. It has a well stocked kitchen and each individual room is well sized and comfortable. However the property layout is slightly strange in that you have to go through a bedroom to get to the balcony and the master bedroom is only separated from the lounge by a glass door with no privacy curtain. It is the only place we have ever stayed at with no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk. It would also have been helpful to have been warned of the work in the lane right outside the property that gave access and noise issues.The Ferry Boat Inn is a short walk which provides a very good standard of food and welcome.

A lovely comfortable accommodation. Needs a lick of paint here and there, but would still happily book there again. Kitchen is fully stocked, the bed and sofas were perfect. Great view overlooking the gold course. Storm Amy hampered our plans unfortunately, but was cosy enough to stay in and relax.
