We spent four fantastic nights here and honestly, couldn’t find a single thing to complain about. Everything was just right! We’re already planning our return and telling everyone we know about it. Loved it!

Our stay with three dogs in the dog house was fantastic! The accommodation was comfy and cleanand the location was stunning-perfect for exploring or just chilling out. We popped over to Edinburgh for a day and enjoyed some peaceful, lazy days too. The secure dog run was a real bonus, especially in the evenings when the deer came by. We honestly can't wait to return next year. Such a lovely spot for a dog-friendly break!

Emily
We had a fantastic stay at the lodge! It’s well-equipped and spotlessly clean inside and out, which we really appreciated. The hot tub was so relaxing after a day exploring. Communication with the owners was smooth and friendly. We bought some eggs from the property - honestly, they were the best we've ever tasted. We loved spotting the animals around the area. Sadly, we couldn’t find the woods due to no signs, which was a bit of a shame. Maybe a heat lamp and umbrella for the hot tub would make it even better in all weather!
