    Brilliant place to stay. Gardens were excellent for our dogs, fully enclosed. Everything was catered for by the owners. Best place we’ve stayed for quite a few years, thank you

    Stayed at Ivy lodge a number of times, absolutely love it! Great dog secure garden, very clean and comfortable sofas and beds. Welcome pack is above and beyond and Anna is so lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Really looking forward to when we can stay again :)
