The lodge's location is ideal for chilling out and enjoying the countryside. The accommodation is well-received for its cleanliness, comfort, and the helpfulness of the hosts, Steve and Claire.

The location is consistently lauded for its beautiful countryside setting, ideal for relaxation and enjoying nature, with no negative comments.
Guests are very satisfied with the comfort of the lodge, mentioning cosy vibes and comfy beds. The only minor issue raised pertains to Wi-Fi connectivity.
Facilities are well-regarded, especially the hot tub. The mention of Wi-Fi issues suggests a need for some maintenance in that area.

Very clean and had everything you would need, and the views are even better than seen on the photos! Perfectly situated for lots of walks and exploring, or just sitting in the hot tub watching the birds of prey overhead!
