Kathryn
We spent a week in the Lodge with grandparents, children and their partners (from 17-84!), 10 of us in total. Knowing the weather can be unpredictable in the UK we chose a cottage with lots of space and things to do. It didn't disappoint. The pool table, hot tub and darts board were particularly popular. The decor is wonderful and every room was we ll equipped and beautifully clean. The electric car charger was a real benefit too.
