The lodge is repeatedly described as well-equipped, especially the kitchen. The secure garden is appreciated by dog owners. Minor issues such as the spring water odour are noted but do not significantly impact satisfaction.

Third visit and have booked again for October, this cabin is so peaceful ideal for the dog .The cabin itself is well equipped with everything you need, the owners are next door but never bother you. The views are magnificent what ever the weather you also get to see Redkites flying around. Can also recommend the chip shop in Minsterley.
