The lodge is generally found to be cosy and spacious, with a high-spec finish. However, there are comments about uncomfortable beds and a squeaky bed frame, which suggest room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are well-regarded, with multiple TVs and a well-equipped lodge. The hot tub is a highlight, despite some reports of jets not working. Road maintenance and heavy hot tub covers are noted as areas for improvement.

It was a really convenient base for visiting the local attractions and went to a couple of Christmas markets, which were great and got us in the Christmas spirit. We loved that we could relax in the hot tub after a day out exploring. Canât wait to return. I would highly recommend this site.

Lodge was spotlessly clean and comfy. A very peaceful spot with Robins singing outside. We had everything that we needed. The only improvement to be made is the bed needs a proper double mattress not two singles put together, and the hot tub could have had a bit more power from the jets. Thank you âºï¸
