    Everything was stunning, as good as you could ever need.

    We’ve just spent another wonderful two week family break staying at the beautiful, peaceful Chestnut Lodge. Highly recommend and already looking returning again next year.

  • Confirmed Guest

    A very nice lodge that went beyond our expectations, it was very peaceful although some might find it a bit isolated as they are still in process of renovating the site, but for us it was perfect and suited our autistic grandson who loved it
