The hot tub was a bonus and throughly enjoyed by us all. The fresh scones with cream and jam went down a treat! Alison was always on hand should you need her. The beds were comfy and the lodge had everything we needed. We would definitely come again. The pub over the road is a must but make sure you book as its always busy and worth every penny! Thank you!

The lodge is so cosy and welcoming. Scones with strawberries jam and cream on arrival were simply divine. Private hot tub is a massive must have. Martin and Alison lovely couple who just left us alone to do our own thing. But they were on hand if we needed them. Lastlyâ¦. Bambi and Holly â¤ï¸2 adorable ponies, we both fell in love with them. Looking forward to our next visit hopefully real soon.
