  • Ian Fearn

    A great 2 bed lodge. We visited as a couple and the main bedroom has a spacious ensuite as well as there being a separate facility bathroom with walk-in shower. Kitchen facilities good, and a large dining area with table for a family.Settee seating for 5 and TV (Freeview) if you want to watch. A nice outside veranda with seating. Altogether a much higher quality lodge than we expected for the price we paid.

  • Confirmed Guest
