Hot tub was excellent. Location was gorgeous and our friendly host Poppy was around at least once a day.

All equipment that we could have needed was there and the owners were friendly and approachable, without being intrusive. The lodge was very private and secluded but still within short distance to amenities and attractions. We would love to venture back!

Kitchen is kitted out with everything you will need and parking is right outside. I stayed with my daughter for 5 nights and we had a great, relaxing time. I think the picture needs updating as there is another lodge being built next to it (but there is a large tall hedge separating them both) with a further 2 smaller lodges further down the garden. We felt like we were on our own even though the other lodges were occupied so this was not an issue at all. The only one niggle for us was the mattresses being uncomfortable but this is a personal preference - the sofas were super comfy! Definitely recommend this lodge :)
