We had such a lovely stay at Dragon Fly Lodge! The setting is absolutely charming and feels really safe - we didn’t bother locking the doors when we headed out.

Sam Parker
We stayed at Dragonfly Lodge for a mid-week break in November and really enjoyed it. The place is super comfy, spaciousand well equipped - perfect for relaxing. We're already thinking about coming back in the summer to sit outside on the balcony with a drink. We loved using the hot tub and the gym was pretty impressive, plus the sauna on the last night was a nice touch, especially after a quick dip in the icy pool! It’s a shame there aren’t any pubs within walking distance, but a short drive made things easy. Our son was happy to do the driving, so we could really unwindand he reckons it’s the best WI-FI he’s had on holiday!
Emma
The location is truly stunning with lovely walks nearby. Everything was spotless and well-equipped, making our stay really comfortable. Hosts were friendly and made us feel at home. Would definitely return!
Alex Harper
Honestly, our stay at Dragonfly Lodge was just lovely. The cottage itself was charming and really well-kept, with everything we needed. Clive and Shelley made us feel so welcome; they’re genuinely friendly folks. The location was peacefuland the minimal light pollution meant we could enjoy stargazing from the hot tub-such a magical experience! The resident donkey, Flintstone, was adorable and quite the character, always up for a carrot. We really didn’t want to leave after four nights. Definitely a place to unwind and relax-highly recommend!
Emma
We really enjoyed ourselves! Shelly and Clive made it special, nothing was too much troubleand we’re already planning to return soon.
