    Our second visit in all three lodges and it didn't dissapoint. The most beautiiful location and excellent facilities. We love it here and loved the cows and the sunshine. Thank you!

  • The S Family

    We had all three lodges to celebrate an 80th, 50th, 18th, and two 16th birthdays! All lodges, the facilities, and the surrounding areas were fantastic. Enjoyed a late night dip in the tubs. Loads of great trips to other towns and attractions. Such a good week, we would definitely come back again.

    Wow, what an amazing weekend at such a stunning location. The views are breathtaking. The lodges are so comfortable and accommodating. There were 14 in our party across all three lodges. we all had privacy whilst still mixing as a group. Hot tub at midnight under the stars - a dream. We will be back.
