It's harder coming back up again though! The lodge was comfortable for the four of us. The resident guinea fowl were a constant source of entertainment, I have some magical video footage of their antics.

Just a few recommendations going forward: - more hot water, we all had to have very QUICK showers (literally 3 minutes) as the hot water ran out - A welcome pack with info about local info, local shops to buy essentials, local restaurants, car parks, walks etc, this would have been helpful - some shelving in the bathroom as there was no where to put wash bags - extra plugs in the bedrooms - the property was dog friendly but not dog safe as it wasn't properly secured, the main entrance was open to the main road and therefore it meant that you could only let your dogs out on a lead - A dog poo bin is required, (there was no where apart from the main Biffa bin to put poo bags)
