Lovely lodge. Great location. The jets were a surprise, but got use to them. The beds were comfy but perhaps could have been made up better. Shame about main shower not working as we did particularly want two showers. Its was a lovely holiday and with a few tweaks it would become a great holiday.

Great location, quiet and close to entertainment, bars etc. with plenty of parking for 3 cars. The owner kept in touch before and after stay.We had a issue with the shower in main bathroom and they offered to come out and fix immediately.We were a party of 6 adults and all had our own space if needed.I believe the owners have not had the property for long and with a little more TLC which they are working on it will be a lovely property.We will definitely be returning to see the changes.
