We all loved how much space there was in each room both bathrooms were great sizes we cooked 3 out of the 4 nights for 4 people which there was enough space to do so. I met the owner (Rob) who was very nice and showed me how to keep the fire going on the fire heated hot tub, which we used twice. The area it self was great. Great views very quiet very peaceful. Also had what I think were guinea fowl running around the outside the lodge didn't bother us at all they were comical to watch. Overall I highly reccomend this property and we will be booking to come here again next year absolutely brilliant stay

Very quiet. Loved watching the local wildlife. Hot tub amazing to get into after a day walking. Facilities in the lodge are perfect. Kitchen incredibly well kitted out and a fantastic welcome basket of goodies. Our second visit and probably not the last. Only down side is that it's easy to soak the bedroom floor when having a shower so just be a bit careful.
