The lodge was beautiful! We loved the wood burning stove! Kitchen was fully equipped. The beds were comfy, the lodge clean and the bathrooms really spacious. Surrounded with lovely walks we had the perfect week. My only feedback would be to maybe have a fence to let dogs out to the toilet, because itâs a bit of a hassle getting the dogs harnesss and lead every time to go out to the toilet! And maybe a baby gate for the bottom of the stairs to keep dogs downstairs? But other than these minor things we had a fab week! Would love to come back again

Very private and loved the outdoor fire. The Lodge was very well thought out and the balconies where an added bonus. The only downside was one of the beds was broken and there was no lighter for the fire. It was very clean and had every utensil you could ask for. Definitely will be back I would imagine it would be stunning in the winter.
