We were staying at the West Lodge for the 2nd time. It is very comfortable and well equipped. The grand children loved playing and cycling in the grounds. It is nice and quiet and there's space to explore.

Very nice Lodge. Enough space for all of us. Very peaceful environment and good for nature lovers. we really enjoyed our stay there. very clean. we had a one small issue with upstairs shower. It needs to update. Thank you very much for the breads and eggs. We drove from London and was midnight when we reached there. Breads and eggs helped us a lot for our dinner. Thank you Graham for guiding us to lodge. So sorry that we had to wake you up.
