Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously describe the property as 'spotlessly clean', indicating a very high standard of cleanliness throughout the lodge.
While the reviews mention stunning views and a peaceful setting, there is insufficient detail to accurately assess the location in relation to local amenities or attractions.
The lodge is frequently noted for its comfort, with chic and comfortable bedrooms and a cosy interior. However, one mention of it being too cold at night slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally praised, including a well-stocked kitchen and decking area. However, comments about the lack of space for groceries and the need for more cleaning supplies suggest room for improvement.
The host's thoughtfulness is highlighted through the provision of welcome packs and dog treats. While these are appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed.

Suited me perfectly seeking some solitude. Everything I needed was supplied and more. Would suggest more for cleaning the kitchen / bathroom areas. Would definitely consider returning in the future.

-perhaps too much as every cupboard in kitchen was full, therefore nowhere to keep groceries. Spotlessly clean and well maintained.
