The inside was lovely. However there is no privacy at all, it says it is part enclosed but its not at all! The lodge is very close to other lodges. However if you do not care about this I would recommend. We had also requested for the bed to be turned into a kings size bed, which the owner agreed, but was never done. However the hot tub was a nice Read moretouch. Hide

Had a really nice week, jacuzzi was great and loved the fire. Slight dog smell so perhaps steam the floors between users. Would return

Lovely warm cottage and furniture and beds were comfortable. The whole site looked pretty with the Christmas decorations. Hot tub was well used and good to see that it was regularly checked by the owners representative.. Would highly recommend and our dogs enjoyed the very accessible ( non muddy ) local walks.

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. We were only there for 2 nights to visit nearby relatives but would definitely stay again. Wonderful spot with everything you could possibly need (loved the boot room, and although we didn't need it during our gloriously sunny trip, I can see that it would be very helpful during winter months).

The lodge was great, everything you need is there, and it's in a great location and as a wheelchair it was accessible enough. If you were to walk to the nearest pub / shop it would be quite a long walk, but this doesn't impact the overall experience. The area is really quiet and you hardly even notice people in the other lodges.

The place was fully equipped with everything we could ask for: boardgames, a speaker, every kitchen utensil we could've wished for and cleaning equipment. The guidebook and recommendations were super helpful, and the coffee machine was an amazing touch!
