We were only at Lilac Lodge for two nights; wished it could have been longer. Very well cared for, delightful little cottage, well equipped with everything to a high standard. Lovely welcome from friendly hosts. Excellent for dogs too, with paddock and dog proof garden. Thanks so much.

We had such a lovely stay and will definitely be back!The property felt so homely from the moment we arrived and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was beautifully furnished, had lovely views, and was tucked away in a peaceful location, which made it feel really relaxing. We also felt very safe throughout our stay.It was my birthday during our visit, and although my mum had arranged the balloons, the hosts kindly set everything up for us, along with the strawberries and chocolates. It was such a thoughtful touch and made my birthday feel even more special. We really appreciated it.Thank you for a wonderful stay... we can't wait to come back!
