Such a beautiful setting and the proximity to lake is great for fishing. Owners lovely and accommodation clean.

Carolina

Fantastic little lodge! Views are stunning and property is well cared for. You do not need anything else for a romantic little break! Looking at the stars from the jacuzzi with a drink was amazing!

Christine

Had a nice holiday and enjoyed the lakeside setting. The dressing gowns and extra towels provided were appreciated after using the lovely hot tub. Would have liked a better distribution of fish around the lake but caught a few smaller fish and one big Carp near to our lodge. There's a walk from the car park to Lilly Pad and the path was rough in paRead morerts and muddy in places after heavy rainfall so not well suited to me with reduced mobility. The Lodge was very brightly lit and warm inside. Hide

Great place to stay by the lake and Sophie was very helpful . Hot tub was private and very warm even though it was -5 C , lovely for a glass of champagne under the stars.

Great place. Peace and quiet. Very clean and well equipped.

The lodge was beautiful and clean with all the facilities we wanted.

Thank you so much! Na ncy and Steve Kavanagh
