A really lovely place to stay. The owner goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. The beds are probably the comfiest of any holiday cottage we've stayed in. The house has everything you could want and the huge garden is fabulous for nature lovers. Lots of interesting places to visit within an hour's drive. Wish we were still there!

One of my favourite properties ever! Its just so peaceful and beautiful. So much wildlife and so lovely hearing the river running. Loved the beautiful well maintained garden and made the most of it even in the rain. But its all the little touches that really made the trip. A lovely cake and fizz, chocs on the pillows, very well stocked kitchen etc.Read more even a dog bowl with poo bags & treats. We will absolutely be returning. Thanks for the best stay and the wonderful late checkout too! Hide

The lodge is spacious, modern, clean and comfortable, and the land surrounding it is beautiful. I don't think I have ever felt so relaxed and comfortable as I did staying here. There is everything you need, it's spotlessly clean, and just stunning

We stayed at the Lower Manor Lodge for two weeks. The children loved the direct access to nature, the goats, chickens, and our nightly visitors. If you're looking for peace and relaxation, this is the place for you. The facilities leave nothing to be desired, and the owner is quick and uncomplicated to help. We ll come back!

This was my second visit and I will be going again next year. The lodge has everything you need - large excellent kitchen and dining room, a 68 inch tv with all sky sports (no need to miss important matches when you are away!). But most important is the extensive grounds and woods where your dogs can roam safely entertained by goats, chickens, squiRead morerrels and birds and the occasional deer. And the owner who lives nearby is a charming. Hide
