Lovely lodge , clean and tidy with great facilities Lovely location very tranquil and peaceful with fabulous outlook FYI When travelling to the lodge use Penny's instructions not sat nav (sat nav takes you down very narrow lanes) Wood fired hot tub is great but will need alot of logs 2 x 10k bags for each use and give yourself 2-3 hours to heat for each use

The hot tub was really easy to heat and was glorious after long days out exploring watching the sun set. We will definitely be back thank you for an amazing few days away. Lisa
