The lodge was clean, well-equipped and welcoming with little touches like a packet of cookies and some dog treats which Woody loved. The rooms were cosy and very comfortable and the hot tub was perfect after long dog walks during the day. The Honicombe Arms on site was friendly and reasonably priced and the food was very good. We are definitely looking forward to coming back again next year.

The hot tub was very nice and lovley to chill out in. We would definitely come back. The only downside I would say was the showers were very temperamental, rather very hot or cold but all in all it was a lovley place to stay and very central. Thankyou.
