Unwind on the plush sofas in front of the gas flame-effect fire, with a TV above to enjoy movie marathons together. Stepping through the home, locate the marvellous kitchen area, with its marble work tops, double electric oven and gas hobs to rustle up tasty meals. Settle down at the dining table to tuck-into mouth-watering dishes and why not uncork a bottle of fizz to toast to your getaway?

Spotlessly clean and felt like luxury. Right on the edge of the lake too. Hottub was lovely and the Lodge itself had everything you could think of that you would need. Highly recommend.

The Lodge consists of three bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom complete with walk-in shower, a separate bathroom with an enormous bath. The kitchen/dining area is equipped with all the utensils/equipment needed for families to prepare and cook meals if required. There is also two large comfortable sofas adjacent to the dining area with a large television fixed to the wall, with log effect fire fixed below it. We enjoyed our stay there (despite the weather not being too good) and would certainly recommend and consider returning again.

There was nothing in the information book (most of it was out dated (during Covid times) so could do with being updated. We couldn't get hold of the owner as they were not answering there phone. I also sent a message asking where it was but as of yet (3 days later) still no reply. Could not get a disposable BBQ from anywhere. All the meat that I took with me for the BBQ had to be brought back home as a result. Very disappointing. Glad I didn't have any more serious issues that needed to be dealt with whilst we were there. Place was lovely though. And views was amazing. Just disappointing we could not make contact with the owners
