Returned from a 4 night break, Beautiful lodge with amazing views. Being a dog friendly lodge my wife was abit sceptical because we have been to different dog friendly places and it can smell, But the lodge was spotless! great walks for the dogs, hot tub was amazing always hot, log burner a great feature too and a games room to top it all off. Will be returning here 100% recommend to all! Thank you so much
