Larchwood is ideally situated within a small well maintained development of lodges. The lodge was very comfortable, immaculately clean and tidy and superbly well equipped. A lot of thought has obviously gone into this. Plenty of outdoor seating too. And the red squirrels and visiting birds were the icing on the cake for us. Even seeds and nuts were provided for feed. We would highly recommend Larchwood and hope to re-visit soon.

This was our second visit to Larchwood. It is a beautiful lodge, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The nicest place we have ever stayed.
