The only constructive thing I would add is that I didnât realise until the day before departure that we could use the Choices Health Club. Not being familiar to the area, I thought this was the pool onsite. We did use it on the last day and it was lovely

Usually when travelling with our dog (Chewy) we are not given the best of accommodation? So we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived and found our accommodation was of the highest standard.

We have stayed in many lodges on this site and this is the best one yet. So many lovely touches, like the homely decor and the bottle of wine and chocolate on arrival which was such a pleasant surprise. We could not have asked for a better stay apart from maybe some more agreeable weather. We would highly recommend this lodge to anyone and will definitely be back.
