"Clean and comfortable. Smart TV and modern furnitures. Great place and location. Upstairs is very warm when it’s sunny. The place is well equipped for a family; washing machine, kitchen etc. Love staying there! Wish there is an English Breakfast or Earl Grey option for tea instead of just peppermint or chamomile or green tea. Apart from that, it’s at the end of the cul de sac so it’s quiet."

5/5 Excellent
"We loved this place so much we stayed longer!! The facilities for the kids were amazing - it gave us parents time to unwind and enjoy the peace and scenery from the lodge lounge whilst the kids played safely and happily. The hosts Kaz & Sam were impeccable - friendly, helpful and happy to have a chat but not intrusive in the least. The lodge had books about the area to borrow which we enjoyed as we sipped wine in front of the fire and watched the sunset. We enjoyed the hot tub spa. The room was comfortable and the views amazing. A lovely menu for breakfast and dinner and bar menu in the afternoon. So glad we stumbled across this little peaceful gem! "
