We really enjoyed our stay at cuckoo hill lodge couldn’t fault it. Need a car as attractions are a distance away. Have booked again for next year. Hosts are fabulous nothing to much trouble. They live on site which is ideal. Don’t worry if you forget something everything you need is there. Lovely welcome pack and leaving gift. Also Ann has 3 beautiful donkeys Arthur gwen and nessa. Mom dad and daughter also boris the chocolate lab. All in all a wonderful stay. Thank you Ann and Mike and animal family. See you next year. Sue , Dave, Clare, and Gracie the pooch.
