We couldn’t fault the accommodation or location. Our prime reason for the booking was to have a base to meet up with family and friends. The Lodge proved to be a really comfortable and cosy retreat each evening. We just wished we had more time to explore the local area which looked lovely.

This is a well appointed holiday let in a very quiet location. But it was very difficult to find. I would suggest phoning the host before trying to find.
