Screel View is an outstanding lodge, and we enjoyed our stay there very much. It is very well appointed in all aspects, and very comfortable indeed. It is situated adjacent to the forest with fantastic views over the open countryside. Both bathrooms were very well equipped, and the shower was very good. The bedrooms are a good size with ample storage. All in all a very comfortable stay, and we’re looking to going again sometime next year
