We stayed last week 2 adults and child and a dog. The lodge itself was lovely, spacious and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the hot tub. Also the visits from the peacocks. Only issue for us was it was tricky to safely walk our dog as this meant walking on narrow country roads, so we had to go out in the car to walk her. Overall though we had a lovely time.

Just got back from a 4 night stay here with my partner, two children and a dog. Such a peaceful location - Im not sure we saw anyone the whole time we were staying. We will definitely return again in the future.
