Couldn't have asked for a better setting . The lodge was very comfortable and tastefully furnished,the only thing I would ask is if maybe the shower head in main bathroom could be replaced. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fishing and what a surprise to see the deers wandering past our lodge. The two families of geese were adorable . ( just remember your wellies) Having only 4lodges on the site makes it a more friendly and relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Also cleaning wasnât to the highest standard we found multiple cobwebs even at love levels like the kitchen knife sett on counter and the washer dryer hadnât been cleaned in what looked like months We had to scrub it to get clean and run a cleaner through to ensure it was clean before putting cloths into wash
