Set in lovely rural countryside, so very peaceful, but also perfectly located to discover all the area has to offer. Charming hosts and very helpful.

The lodge is very new, immaculately clean, and very well equipped. The owner provided thoughtful touches for our toddler including a playhouse and slide, which was very much appreciated. The only small downside is slightly low water pressure with not very hot water (even after we changed the gas bottle as instructed), but overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had everything we needed, it was comfortable and close to many fun things to visit. Being in the middle of beautiful, picturesque countryside for a week was such a treat! Fabulous views from the little patio to enjoy. Thanks
