Beautiful lodge and setting, even saw a deer twice outside our lodge. Decking needs a little attention as some boards loose. Patio door needs adjusting as difficult to close. Everything we needed was there apart from a fan during the extreme heat. Very close to Newbury Town which is lovely with many canal walks and eating places. We would definitely return.

The lodge itself was nice, but improvements could definitely be made, for example, a lovely big bath there, and the hot water came out of the cold tap.
