Callow Lodge is highly praised for its peaceful rural setting, beautiful views, and welcoming hosts. Guests consistently mention the well-equipped kitchen, cleanliness, and comfort of the lodge, as well as the secure garden ideal for dogs. The location is perfect for a relaxing getaway, with easy access to local towns and walking routes. While the spring water has a slight odour, it does not detract from the overall experience. The approach road is narrow and unmade in places, but this is a minor issue compared to the many positives.

Guests love the tranquil, scenic location and proximity to walking areas and local towns. The only minor drawback mentioned is the narrow, bumpy access road.
The lodge is described as comfortable, warm, and cosy, with guests feeling at home and able to relax fully during their stay.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and the enclosed garden is appreciated by dog owners. The only minor issue noted is the sulphurous odour of the spring water.
Hosts are described as friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. While some guests mention that complimentary items like breakfast provisions would be a nice touch, these are not guaranteed.

Absolutely fabulous place, plenty of room, everything that you could need for a long stay. Mr and Mrs Richards were extremely accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We tried to rebook but alas it was already taken. Highly recommended.
