    Everything else was really good and I would return again. Have had a really nice week.

  • Carol

    The lodge had everything you could need for a short break away, with the exception of a hairdryer which is a must. I did contact the owner after being unable to locate a hairdryer but didn't get a response. It didn't affect our holiday but wouldnt expect to need to take a hairdryer with us. We have stayed in lodges for the last 12 years & there has always been at least one hairdryer in the lodges.

  • Margaret

    Beds really comfortable, but settees could do with being replaced. Would have loved to see a filter coffee machine in the kitchen, as more and more people use them these days (fortunately we took ours with us); however, we would certainly book this lodge again.
