Cleanliness - whilst it wasnât dirty it wasnât up to the standard I would expect for the cost, dirty windows, cobwebs and dust Train tracks - very close to the train tracks so sleep wasnât always guaranteed to be restful, alongside the poor quality mattress Fresh water dippIng - this was advertised as available however the platform for this was still under construction on our visit Plenty of pros also, owners were very friendly, location and lodge were beautiful, very relaxing atmosphere and a beautiful part of the country

Wild swimming may be a future thing, but not yet as the stream is small and inaccessible, however, the site is new and that will change, I am sure. Only (tiny) criticism is that some kitchen appliances (toaster, airfryer) are on top of tall cupboards!! Would love to go back sometime xx

He was very friendly and helpful and also kept the hot tub warm through out our whole stay. The Lodge was absolutely beautiful with lots of little touches and big garden space. We will definitely be returning next year.
