I chose Twill Lodge to spend a few days with my parents, who are in their eighties, due to it being on one level and having two bathrooms, one of which has a walk-in shower. The lodge was very comfortable, warm and clean, and extremely well-equipped. It was well-placed for visiting a number of tourist attractions and destinations. We had a wonderful stay and it felt like a home-from-home. If I had one small suggestion it would be to add a handrail into the walk-in shower and maybe supply some non-slip mats as my father, who has slight mobility issues, was worried about slipping in the shower. Other than that we had a fantastic stay.

We had a lovely stay at Twill Lodge and the house is very pretty. We did have to clean some of the area in the kitchen on arrival but they had left all cleaning products which was helpful. The pool was brilliant to use during the hotter weather and our two young boys loved going once a day ☺️The local pub was great to walk too and were very friendly serving good food. The estate grounds are very pretty and the adventure area was fun. Beds were very comfortable and the house is cosy on an evening. We would stay again ☺️Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely home.
