Guests particularly enjoy the privacy, direct access to forest walks, and proximity to both beaches and local attractions. The lodge is especially popular with dog owners and families, offering a relaxing retreat with thoughtful touches. While the TV signal was occasionally unreliable, this was a minor issue compared to the overwhelmingly positive experience.
Multiple reviews highlight the lodge as spotlessly clean and beautifully presented, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.
Guests consistently praise the tranquil forest setting, privacy, and easy access to beaches and local attractions. The only minor note is the need to drive to amenities.

Facilities are modern and comprehensive, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The only issue raised was occasional TV signal problems, but alternatives were available.

We had a fabulous week away at bracken Lodge. The location is so peaceful it's hard not to relax. We loved seeing the deer, squirrels and birds. There are some lovely walks around the Lodge for dogs. The Lodge itself was perfect, Ann and her husband thought about absolutely everything. I always take things with me as not all places are as well equipped. But I didn't need to use anything of mine. The welcome package was a lovely touch too. The sofa is super comfy as are the beds, my husband and I are very jealous that the best room in the Lodge only has a single bed in it. The view from the upstairs window was stunning. Our daughter loved waking up every morning looking out at the trees and wildlife. The seating outside was also perfect, we sat out every breakfast and evening. Thank you for a fantastic stay x

A wonderful lodge set in the forest, which was perfect in the heatwave. Everything you could wish for in the property and close to local attractions (can even hear the steam trains tooting from the lodge!), forest walks from your doorstep and a short drive to the beach. Thoroughly recommend!!!
