Couldn't wish for more. A truly lovely place to stay, peaceful, comfortable, well equipped and a great scenic location. The welcome pack was such a nice touch. Lovely dog walks close by plus a very nice pub just a few minutes walk away. The owners are welcoming and always at hand if you need anything . We look forward to returning in the near future.

Absolutely superb lodge, clean, well equipped. Probably the best place we have ever stayed in. Owners very friendly, helpful but unobtrusive. Definitely recommend! And dog Friendly! Great welcome pack even for the dog.

We book quite a few UK holidays with our 2 small dogs, and, generally, come away feeling a little flat. Not this time! From the moment we opened the door we knew we had found a gem. The property was spotlessly clean. Downstairs was perfect for a quiet breakfast, either inside or outside. The kitchen is equipped with quite possibly anything you would need to cook and eat the amazing welcome pack (fresh bread, bacon, eggs, butter, marmalade and biscuits) There was tea and coffee in the cupboard. Upstairs is truly home from home. Lovely, spotlessly clean bathroom, comfy bed, and a cosy lounge overlooking the amazing countryside. The hosts are friendly and accommodating and are on hand should you need them. Overall, an amazing relaxing, quiet retreat that we shall certainly use again.
