This is a really beautiful lodge in a perfect location. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous, with plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained.The only thing we were a bit concerned about was the Amazon Echo device with a camera in the living area. We ended up unplugging it, as we weren’t comfortable with the possibility of it being used for internal surveillance. Hopefully, that’s not the case, but it might be worth clarifying for future guests.Overall, it’s a wonderful place to stay and we’d happily recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Absolutely stunning lodge, so many things to do inside and outside! Cleanliness was outstanding and Peter Townsend was a godsend with being on hand whenever we needed something or to ask a question. All 6 of us had plenty of room in all areas of the lodge and we all said we would return in a heart beat. Highly recommend booking this place :)
