We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gorse Lodge. What stood out for us was how extremely clean and comfortable the lodge is and its also very quiet and peaceful. We enjoy cycling and walking and there are lots of routes to interesting and pretty places and Gorse Lodge was a fabulous base to come home to each evening. Recommended.
