    Plenty of space for me and the hubby. Pooch loved the view and watching people and dogs walking past. Spotlessly clean, well equipped, well laid out.Great value for money. Weather was changeable but the Lodge could accommodate wet weather - tumble dryer, clothes horse etc. Fan for the hot weather and black out curtains for the heat.

  • Brooke

    Lovely peaceful and relaxing site, the site grounds are very well maintained and presentable. The lodge really was luxury with everything we possibly needed inside, spotlessly clean, smelt very fresh, and had a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Bed was super comfy!! Staff are very helpful and polite. Would definitely stay here again, we had an amazing time.

  • Karen
