    Couldn't fault the lodge, only few things missing even though had almost everything. No clock, couldn't find hair dryer and a full length mirror but that's me just being picky as I would defo stay again. The grounds r gorgeous and very picturesque well maintained, just lacking in things to do, no entertainment, no club house, luckily we got the weather otherwise would of had to just stay in. We went local town centre but again no much going on. The pub on site serves lovely food but if u don't book early, u lose out.

    Only downside was the tv in lounge area as the reception was poor. Will definitely book again in the future.

  • Martin

    Everything you could need was there. Home from home.
