Would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a quiet chilled break.

The lodge itself was lovely- very comfortable and felt homely. Overall it was very clean, however we used the oven on our first night and there were a couple of chips in there from a previous stay. We liked that there was a tv in each bedroom and one in the living room, however the one in the living room did not work. I reported this at the time of arrival but nobody got back to me for the duration of our stay regarding this. I was disappointed that the main tv did not work and that nobody got back in contact with me regarding this. The hot tub was a lovely addition and was well enjoyed, but not all of the jets seemed to be working. This did not affect the use of the hot tub however. The Wi-Fi worked very well at the lodge and overall we would recommend staying here.
