This is our second holiday here and we have booked again for next May. The lodge has everything you need from a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, quietness and a superb view over the countryside. Great garden for your pets to run around in and have a great time with no issues about them escaping onto farmland. The lodge is within easy reach of places to visit and to go shopping. Both Karen and Bill are welcoming and very friendly and if you need anything they will happily accommodate. Looking forward to our next holiday in May 27. Thank you to both Bill and Karen.

The added bonus of beautiful view and for a working farm itâs actually peaceful. My children loved staying here and seeing the dogs, cows and sheep. We would definitely return.
