    An excellent property. Beautifullly spacious and well furnished inside. Equipped with absolutely everything you need for your stay. A wonderful welcome hamper waiting for you when you arrived. Situated in such a beautiful location, so peaceful and very relaxing. Will definitely come again.

    lovely location and excellent accommodation. Welcome pack very good. Some stains on the sofas but otherwise good. Fan had been left on and switch for turning it off didn't work - sorted the next day myself but it was annoying for the first night

    Peace and tranquility in a wonderful setting. The Lodge is 5 star plus and has everything you need. It's an ideal place to get away from the treadmill to simply relax and recharge. We have stayed twice and will definitely be returning.
