The property itself was perfect, in an ideal peaceful location. The photos don't do it any justice it is perfect inside and outside including the gardens and views. We will definitely be staying there again.

The lodge is really high up in the hills with lovely views of ever changing landscapes . . Met hosts Cheryl and Dave who were really nice and im sure if you needed them they would be straight on it . . Quite windy and some rain for two days but that was fine
