Stayed Monday to Friday for our 20th anniversary. Lol very nice and comfortable. Hot tub very good and the sauna an added bonus.Our host Antony was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. It was lovely to sit out on the veranda eith our breakfast and watch the various birds, nuthatch, blue tits, great tits, coal tits, robins black birds, sparrow and great spotted woodpecker feeding. If we didn't have other things to do we could have stayed there all day. It was just what we wanted a quite peaceful stay. The lodge is at the top of a short but steep hill, it was like being on a rollercoaster 😆 but we got used to it. The amenities in the lodge were very good, comfortable mattress and pillows, bedroom pitch black if you like no light when sleeping. Only drawback for me personally was the pot cupboards cups, plates ect in top corner cupboard far to high up for me hubby had to get them out for me. Maybe move to a lower cupboard. We didn't use oven or dishwasher so can't review. Hot tub was lovely nice temperature good jets, and the sauna was very nice. The sauna is in like a store room very good to put cases, by the way behind the door is a full length mirror which I found on the last night. May be worth mentioning it in the hand book.All in all we loved our stay.

When we booked we were looking forward to the wonderful woodland and valley views along with the king sized bed.On arrival the site is very confusing with no signage to tell you were to go, you have to go through closed gates and to the cabin we were in up a very steep hill, also not mentioned. We were greeted to a very small cabin, with uncomfortable internal furniture and definitely not a king sized bed, it is a double!The open plan kitchen/dining/ living room is small in comparison to many others we have stayed in.The hot tub although lovely, had views of trees directly in front of you and nothing else. Very poor. On top of that we were attacked by wasps and flys all the time we were in the hot tub so you couldn’t relax.On day two after a restless night in a really soft bed, again attempted the hot tub after being out during the day, again we were attacked.We were so disappointed in the quality of our second night sleep couple with the fact we couldn’t go in the hot tub due to the ‘wildlife’ we cut our visit short and left a night early, we were due to stay three but left after two.We messaged the owner of the property to advise of our early departure and were not offered anything as a gesture, so no we would not return to these lodges nor would we recommend this particular one.

Had a lovely 4 night stay at the Evernia lodge. The lodge was very nice and had everything we needed. Was set in a quiet location in a wooded area so very peaceful. Would recommend and would definitely return. The sauna was an added bonus too.
