Stayed here for 5 days end of July for mums birthday. one of our new favourite places. The Goyle was so clean plenty of amenities, the rooms were spacious with everything you need the surrounding garden and ground's is beautiful plenty space for kids to run around and play. Was very easy to get too, met heather for the key then followed her to the lodge, she was lovely so welcoming and friendly and was there if we needed her for anything. Definitely will be returning again.

Lovely cottage and only a short drive to nearby villages & towns. Lovely escape for the family, especially with the hot tub and beautiful gardens/fields for walking the dog
