Quirky touches in the lodge making it unique yet practical. Only suggestion would be maybe a small local produce welcome pack.

It certainly has the âwowâ factor. The view from the balcony was breathtaking and the property was fitted out to the highest quality. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. There were a couple of things we found we were short of and they sorted it out straight away. We will certainly be coming back here again. Thank you!
