Comfortable beds and good shower. Lovely girls who came to check hot tub. Extremely helpful gardener who provided us with long hosepipe to wash our bikes. Just need to remind whoever cleans Lodge that certain items, washing up liquid, dish washer tablets, hand soap (bathroom) were all low resulting in having to buy locally, it might be that we were just unlucky that these items were about to all run out at the same time.

Great location. Lovely lodge. Amazing hot tub. We had a very relaxing week. No issues at all. We were lucky with the weather - although not lucky with the timing of the muck spreading by the local farmer! Haha! All the equipment in the lodge was excellent - think this is the first lodge I have stayed in with steak knives! Local village has all you could need. Bakery (wow!), farm shop (vegetables & butchers) and a Co-op. Close to several beaches (recommend Blue Anchor - free parking) and lots of pubs/restaurants - but do ring and book first. I would highly recommend a stay in this lodge.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and in a lovely quiet location. We will definitely look to stay again in the future.
