Blossom Lodge Reviews

Emily
We had an amazing stay! At first, I was a bit worried about the size, but it’s surprisingly spacious and really comfortable. The view was stunningand the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Sadly, a foot problem meant we couldn’t do much walking, but there’s still plenty to enjoy - spa, cinema, zooand scooter hire are great options! The food at the Cott Inn was delishand the owner was super approachable. Definitely planning to come back, hopefully with two healthy feet next time!
Emma T.
We loved the place! Everything was spotless, with lots of facilities, so we cooked every night. The view was stunning, making our stay really special overall.

We stayed for five nights and loved it. The place had all we needed for cosy BBQs, plus a mini oven in case the coals ran out. Even during the heatwave, the breeze through the open doors kept it comfortable. And the view-absolutely stunning, photos don’t do it justice at all!

We stayed in this cosy little spot for a week. Not massive, but perfect for us. The shower and toilet are quite snug-larger folks might find it tricky. The outdoor area looked lovely, but the weather was a bit rubbish, so we couldn’t enjoy it. Would’ve been lovely in sunshine, for sure!
James
Beautiful setting, comfy roomsand thoughtful extras everywhere. Love it!
Jamie
We found Blossom Lodge while hunting for a cosy getaway and it didn’t disappoint. The cabin’s tucked away nicely, with stunning views and a hot tub that’s perfect for unwinding. Anne-Marie really made us feel special - decorating the place with balloons and banners for my partner’s birthday, plus a lovely bottle of prosecco. The place was spotlessand the location was ideal, with helpful restaurant tips from the hosts. Sunset views and the hot tub made for a memorable stay. We’ll definitely be coming back!
