We had an amazing time at the lodge! There’s so much to do nearby and the place itself is lovely. The only thing is, the sofa space was a bit tight for our group of four adults and two dogs - we noticed it in the pictures but it didn’t spoil our stay. Overall, we’d definitely recommend it to friends and familyand we’re already thinking about coming back. A solid 5 stars from us!
