The cottage is very spacious and was clean on arrival. Check in was easy. The owner does live in a tent on the property but keeps to himself unles otherwise needed. Overall, it was a comfortable stay:)

The lodge being closer to river ardle, is a perfect gateway for a family of 5 people. Rooms were perfectly clean and so was the entire lodge. Host Matt was responsive with any questions that we had and communicated the nearest superstore for groceries if needed. Everything was as mentioned in the description with no questions at all. Thank you for welcoming us in an appropriate way.
