Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently mention the property's cleanliness, with only a single mention of an oversight regarding broken glass and confetti under the sofas. This appears to be an isolated incident in an otherwise immaculate presentation.
The property's location is frequently described as stunning and idyllic, with easy access to walks and scenic views. Some guests noted difficulty in finding the property, especially in the dark, suggesting room for improvement with signage.
Guests rave about the comfort of the lodge, mentioning very comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. The only minor discomfort reported was related to personal temperature preferences, which were quickly addressed by the owner.
The facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub and pool table. However, there were some issues with the hot tub lights and oven performance, and one mention of difficulty in lighting the log burner, which suggests some maintenance could be improved.
The owner's thoughtfulness is highlighted by their responsiveness and helpfulness. Gifts such as prosecco were mentioned as a kind gesture, although it should be noted that such gifts are given at the owner's discretion and may not be a standard offering for all stays.

The pool table, speakers and hot tub created a great atmosphere. We all loved the decor and it is in a truly beautiful area. The local pub was lovely and you have to walk a mile to it which was refreshing. Only thing to note was that the oven wasnât good. It took hours to cook a roast chicken, next time Iâd just eat at the pub instead.

The hot tub is fantastic, especially when it's cold and raining! The decor is spectacular, and facilities great. We would have liked a bigger oven, and cupboard space. Finding storage for 8 people's food for 4 days is difficult! We were a little hot, but didn't realise that we could have asked for it to be turned down, as it's controlled externally. We would have liked better signage from the road please, if it's dark you can't see where the little farm track is. We also had an interesting time getting the groceries delivered. We did get them eventually! Other than that the place is beautiful, remote and wild.

Very comfortable and luxurious. Loved the addition of towelling robes which were great for using the hot tub. The weather was not great during our stay but we were warm and cosy inside and we still enjoyed using the hot tub. Slightly disappointed to find broken glass and evidence of previous occupants party confetti under the sofas but other than that, the property was clean so this was myst have been an oversight. I would highly recommend Gunner Lodge and will be returning!
